While the survey expanded to include more companies in 2021, the overall payment performance experienced a marginal decrease; sports organizations may need to evaluate the impact of these small delays, and if necessary, use a late payment calculator to review costs. Given the minimal change, this suggests that payment practices within the sector remained relatively consistent year-over-year despite potentially differing operating environments.
One-Line Summary: The sports sector saw a slight dip in payment performance, dropping from 73.9/100 in 2020 to 72.1/100 in 2021.
