Extract of Accounts Payable Summary Spend Information
Shane Gibson made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice
The request was refused by Ministry of Justice.
From: Shane Gibson
Dear Ministry of Justice,
I would like an extract of the annual amount spent with all suppliers for the 2021/2022 financial year.
I would like this data in an open format, csv or json formats would be suitable.
I would like the following details provided:
- Supplier Name
- Suppliers NZBN number (if available)
- Total Amount Spent
I believe this information would be readily available via an extract from your Accounts Payable system.
I have already received similar data from a number of Government organisations, which implies this information can be treated as open data.
Yours faithfully,
Shane Gibson

Dear Easton, Paul,
I would be willing to amend this request to only receive Supplier totals that are above $1000 (or some other suitable number)
As this would remove payments to Jurors and reduce the number of Supplier records you would have to review.
Would this be acceptable?
Yours sincerely,
Shane Gibson

Ministry of Justice
Hi Shane

Cheers

Dear Shane
Thank you for your email, and your suggestion to narrow down the payments to $1000.
Unfortunately, I've been advised that this wouldn't solve the inherent issue, which is that the information you have requested does not currently exist in the format you have requested. Providing this information to you in the format you have requested would require substantial manual collation to identify any non-suppliers in the data.
If you are not satisfied with this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the Act.
Ngā mihi,
Paul
