It is reasonable to conclude that it is in the interest of the organisation to be as open and transparent as possible when it comes to ‘perks’ being dished out from public funds. I would ask your organisation to consider that there is a public interest in recipients being named where they hold senior positions and accountable positions such as elected representatives and senior staff from public organisations.
