About the data files
This data is reported from our financial system on a quarterly schedule. Edits include:
•	removed special characters, e.g. $
•	modified date format to DD/MM/YYYY
•	standardised addresses to titlecase
The data is provided in a comma separated values (CSV) file. The file can be opened as a text file, or in spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel. Please note that if you are using Excel, it is best to use the Text Import Wizard and import all columns as ‘text’ rather than ‘general’ format. This will prevent Excel making changes to numbers or dates in the file.
