Response time
36 days
Department of Corrective Services
At 30 June 2007 there was $20,143,436 owing to 361 creditors.
(a) $20,111,349
(b) $19,523
(c) $166
(d) $1,021
(e) $11,377
The amount owing to creditors of the Department of Corrective Services excludes amounts outstanding for Prisoner Gratuities of $317,262.
The aging of the number of creditors is not readily available from the Department of the Attorney General's financial management system and would require significant resources to produce
The Department makes every effort to pay creditors within 30 days, however there are circumstances under which this is not possible. Examples follow, which are reflected in the figures provided.
Late billing
- Some creditors do not submit invoices for more than 30 days after the goods or services are supplied. The date recorded in the finance system is the date of the invoice (not the date the invoice is received) and therefore such invoices will appear as outstanding for more than 30 days even if they are paid on the day received.
Accounts in dispute
- Accounts are not approved for payment until any dispute is resolved.
Grants payments
- Grant payments are not made until the Department is satisfied that any required milestones have been met. This can cause delays in payment.
Misdirected invoices
- Payment can be delayed if invoices are incorrectly addressed.
Office of the Inspector of Custodial Services
(a) $8009
(b - e) Nil
SBDC
(a) $32,715
(b) (b - e) Nil.
Federal-State Relations
The answer will be forthcoming from the Minister for Federal-State Relations.
