KEY FACTS

- The recorded September payment total was $10,900,066.44.

- EFT payments, including payroll, totalled $10,055,730.66.

- Direct debits, including credit cards, totalled $843,793.53, and cheques totalled $542.25.

- The briefing included recommendations to receive the September financial statements and note the investment statistics, not resolutions adopting those recommendations.

- The source is the City of Vincent Council Briefing Notes for 10 November 2026, rather than an independently verified payment audit.


ANALYSIS OF THE RECORD

- The source presents receipt of the payment list and the related financial reporting actions as recommendations. It records no resolution or vote adopting those recommendations.

- The three payment categories add to $10,900,066.44, matching the stated total.

- The supplied text identifies the largest category as EFT payments including payroll, but does not provide a further split between payroll and other EFT payments or identify payees.


QUESTIONS FOR FOLLOW-UP REPORTING

- Were the recommendations recorded in the briefing notes later adopted at a formal Council meeting?

- What portion of the $10,055,730.66 EFT total was payroll, and who received the largest non-payroll payments?
