It should be noted my Department’s Financial Management System only shows transactions from 1 April 2004. A full archival search of material stored off-site would be required to compile pre 1 April 2004 transactions. In the time available to answer the Question, such a search has not been undertaken on the pre 1 April 2004 transactions, given the time, complexity, cost and staff resources involved.
