Effective 1st January 2019, Aon’s Enterprise Financial Management platform migrated, and this move led to weekly payment runs. This led to many suppliers being paid a few days after the due date and resulted in an increase in the number of suppliers who were paid late January-August 2019. The payment runs frequency has been changed to daily in September 2019.
