Governance and Transparency

The East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) is democratically led by the Mayor and the Board

EMCCA is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of governance and transparency, adhering to principles of openness and clarity in all decision-making processes. We are committed to ensuring value for money and continuously review and assess the effectiveness of our arrangements when delivering projects across the region.

To maintain complete transparency, the Combined Authority and its committees make decisions in public meetings, which you are welcome to attend. In addition meeting papers are available online.

Constitution

Our Constitution sets out the way we work, how decisions are made, and the procedures we follow to make sure our work is efficient, and effective, and is both transparent and accountable to local people.

Data transparency, open data and The Local Government Transparency Code

Through its drive for transparency, the government is encouraging councils to make more of their information available in a way which can be easily shared and reused. This is called open data.

Spending over £500

We’re committed to making our finances clear and, as part of this commitment, we publish all our relevant spend with suppliers over £500. Below you will find a list of quarterly reports. Each report lists all relevant supplier payments of £500 or more, excluding VAT.

To help you understand the quarterly reports, below explains the data in each column heading of the report.

  • Body name – name of the organisation making the payment
  • Body – code to identify the organisation making the payment
  • Service area categorisation – the service area that has spent the money

  • Expenses type – description of the type of expenditure
  • Date – the date that the payment was processed by our payments system
  • Amount – the actual value of the payment, excluding VAT
