ACT public service—expense claims
(Question Nos 2071, 2073 and 2075)

Mr Smyth asked the Treasurer, the Minister for Economic Development and the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, upon notice, on 23 February 2012:

(1) How many instances have there been of contested, inappropriate or queried expense claims in the Minister’s directorate.

(2) How many times have claims for expenses been denied.

Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Expense claims in each directorate are subject to scrutiny and review by authorised financial delegates before any claim is approved for payment. Directorates’ financial management systems only record approved expense claims data, upon receipt of properly authorised payment paperwork. Therefore records of expenditure cannot be interrogated to identify claims not approved for payment.

(2) See response to (1).
