Government—invoices
(Question No 2887)
Mrs Dunne asked the Treasurer, upon notice, on 14 February 2020 (redirected to the Minister for Government Services and Procurement):
(1) In relation to the Notifiable Invoices Register, why are there inconsistencies in the date formatting between the reporting of the dates invoices are received and paid.
(2) Why are there inconsistencies in the date formatting within the reporting of the dates invoices are paid.
(3) Will the Treasurer instruct his directorate to use the format dd/mm/yyyy for reporting of the dates invoices are received and paid after 31 December 2019; if not, why not.
Ms Orr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
To support the ACT Government’s Open Government policy and in accordance with the Government Procurement Act 2001 the details of notifiable invoices are published within 21 days after the end of the month during which the invoice was paid.
Action has been taken to rectify inconsistencies in the way dates are recorded in the register, and all entries from late 2019 were checked.
As there is an existing instruction in place, entries from 31 December 2019 onwards will continue to be recorded as dd/mm/yyyy. Any inconsistencies from 31 December 2019 may be due to an individual error at the data entry point.
