Next, the local government general ledger and accounts payable ledger
should be examined. These documents provide a rich source of information
regarding the amount or quantity purchased, by whom and from whom,
and when, as well as other general vendor information. Using the data on the
general and accounts payable ledgers (as well as all supporting documentation) requires working with finance or accounting personnel to obtain
expenditure reports for all the goods and services the organization consumed.
A breakdown by the general ledger account code usually provides sufficient
detail to commence this process; however, unless the procurement depart-
ment has maintained this information, the general ledger codes are
not agood descriptor of the goods and services charged to a particular activity.
Thus, it may be necessary to “drill down” into the general ledger codes and
categorize the transactions into meaningful groups for generating the pro-
curement profile.
