UK Sport has spent £182,000 on five campaigns for senior positions in global sport in the last two years.
The agency, which funds Olympic and Paralympic sport, backed campaigns by Lord Coe, Brian Cookson, Sir Phillip Craven, John McEwen and Louise Martin.
Two thirds of that sum, £115,000, went to one company, Vero Communications.
"If we care about the future of international sport then we've got to get off the bench and into the game," said UK Sport's Simon Morton.
"That means supporting British administrators to secure international leadership positions to ensure that the UK, as one of the world's leading sporting nations, has a strong voice in developing world sport.
"We are proud of our record, as we believe it is essential to ensure that our national governing bodies can engage effectively with the international community and contribute to the governance, development and leadership of world sport."
