Dispute Resolution Process

The supplier would be contacted either via email or phone by a member of the Accounts Payable team at EA to understand the issue. We would then work together with the supplier/business partner to resolve the issue ASAP. The timescale will vary depending on the issue, however, regular updates will be provided until the issue is resolved. Once the issue is resolved, the invoice(s) will be added to the next payment batch.
