Standard payment terms
MDU Investments adopts its suppliers’ payment terms where explicitly stated on their invoices. New suppliers are set up in the accounting system by the finance team, and the supplier payment terms are included on the supplier record. All invoices registered against a given supplier will automatically have the payment terms on that supplier’s record applied to them. Where no payment terms have been explicitly communicated by the supplier, the new supplier records will be set to ‘pay immediately’. In practice this means that the invoice will be paid, once approved, on the next weekly payment run.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

With respect to contracts with suppliers, the general position is that the appropriate department managers for each supplier first attempt to resolve the dispute (the MDU point of contact varies from contract to contract). The contact would aim to deal with the dispute promptly, and in accordance with the terms of the contract. Additionally, suppliers can contact MDU’s accounts team: accounts@themdu.com
