	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>The Department's spend recovery audit contractor has identified a small number of duplicate payments (excluding Executive Agencies). In 2012/13 there were 12 duplicate payments and in 2013/14 there was one. Any duplicate payments that have been identified and already recovered in previous years would not have been picked up in this audit.</p><p> </p><p>The value of these duplicate payments is £110,527 over the five years audited. The audit was completed in April 2014 and we have recovered £40,256 (36%) of the total amount, with the remainder being subject to an ongoing recovery process by the contractor. We expect the contractor to pursue the remaining recovery action quickly.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the recovery work currently being undertaken, the Department has brought in other measures to minimise the risk of duplicate payments. From August 2013, arrangements for grants payments are dealt with by a central grants payment team. More recently, we have implemented the use of a unique reference number (URN) to reduce the risk of inaccurate grant payments and improve management information. The Department also ensures that finance guidance is updated as appropriate to ensure risks are minimised and we have regular discussions with our shared service provider about continuous improvements, which includes measures such as routine supplier data cleansing and clear protocols.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 07/07/2014 10:27:52 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss previous answer version 7107 answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
