The company pays the majority of suppliers with a weekly BACS payment run. All invoices due and cleared for payment at this time are processed in the payment run. Operating a once a week BACS payment run can result in invoices being paid up to one week late which materially impacts the company's statistics. 90% of invoices were paid within 7 days of the due dates within the period. During the reporting period the accounting system was upgraded which impacted upon these statistics.
