Statement of Expenditure for the year ended 31 March 2014.
The Public Service Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 imposes mandatory duties on SPS to publish certain information on certain areas of expenditure. This legislation came into force on 1 October 2010 and the disclosure requirements including details of spend on the following:
• Public Relations
• External Consultancy
• Hospitality and Entertainment (including Gifts)
• Overseas Travel
• Staff Remuneration in excess of £150,000
• Payments of more than £25,000 (see link by month at the foot of this page)
In addition, the Act requires us to publish a statement of the steps that we have taken during the financial year:
a. To promote and increase sustainable growth
b. To improve efficiency, effectiveness and economy

Payments in Excess of £25,000
The monthly schedules below provide detail of expenditure by the SPS in compliance with the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010.
These detail payments to companies etc who provide supplies and services under contract to the SPS eg private prisons, pharmacy supplies, medical services, education, social work, utilities etc as well as payments to contractors for capital expenditure.
Individual schedules provide all items of expenditure over £25,000 in chronological order for the month and record:
- the payee
- the amount paid
- the date of the payment
- a description of the payment
- the SPS Directorate who initiated the payment
Feedback from the public would be welcome in relation to the way in which information has been set-out and any improvements that can be made.
It is anticipated this approach provides the appropriate transparency required of SPS. It should be noted that the reporting of expenditure differs from the way in which SPS accounts for expenditure in our published annual accounts. Following the disciplines of accruals based accounting expenditure is recorded in the financial year the goods and services are delivered / received rather than when paid.
