Any payment query or dispute is dealt with by the Accounts Payable team and budget holder in a timely manner. A supplier statement will be requested and any missing invoices will be requested. If the issue is specific to a department then the dispute is referred to the Head of Department for action. Unresolved issues will be referred to the Financial Controller.
