Dispute Resolution Process
We have very few disputes relating to payment with suppliers, and those which do arise are quickly resolved. Telephone or email correspondence would take place in the first instance, between our Purchase Ledger Administrator and the supplier, which could involve dealing with individuals at an increasing level of seniority in the supplier organisation; if no resolution, the case would be passed to the Group Accountant, and ultimately the Bursar.
