Purchase invoices
City purchase invoices
The municipality operates on the basis of a public-friendly administration. Municipal documents, including purchase invoices, are in principle public, unless the municipality has a legal obligation to keep the document secret. These reasons can be found in the law on the publicity of official acts: http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/1999/19990621
The vast majority of municipal expenditure is on purchases from other parties. Purchases can be, for example, the purchase of goods or services. The municipality itself is a public body, financed mainly through taxes and state contributions. The municipality operates on the basis of publicity. The opening of purchase invoices is intended to increase the transparency of municipal activities and thus strengthen local democracy. Publication is also part of the municipality’s internal control system, and reinforces that municipal purchases are carried out in accordance with regulations and legislation.
