- N.B. During the stated period, States Departments moved to an automated reporting system for purchase card spending through JD Edwards. The figures reported do not include money spent prior to this move as this would involve resource-intensive and time-consuming analysis of monthly paper returns from card holders. The benefits of providing this information are not considered to outweigh the costs involved and would mean diverting staff from other critical activity or, potentially, buying in the resource needed. All Departments moved to the new system at various dates throughout the period.
- Included are all Chief Officers of Ministerial Departments, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Chief Officer, Resources) and the Chief Officers of the Trading Departments.
- Where N/A is stated – the person in that role does not hold a States purchase card.
- As stated in Financial Direction 5.9 the Social Security Department do not use States purchase cards.
- It should be noted that secretaries and PAs use their purchase cards for booking travel and accommodation for their whole departments and not just the Chief Officer in accordance with the States policy in respect of purchase cards.
