In-year spending data
"The in-year spending dataset provides monthly totals from the transactions of each department. This data is classified in fine detail by the department when recording their transactions."
Dataset purpose
This dataset is particularly suited to two somewhat different uses:
Monitoring in-year spending at department, programme or economic classification level and exploring in-year trends over time at these levels. Comparing this to budgets is informative.
Exploring payments at very low levels of classification detail and learning about the activities of a department for further exploration. Be careful about drawing conclusions from low level payment data alone - this usually requires a fair amount of contextual information which can be sought from
