Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

"Standard payment terms with 3rd party suppliers are 90 days unless otherwise agreed with the relevant 3rd party supplier. The payment period commences from receipt of a proper, due and compliant invoice. Our standard hotel framework agreements (typically used for large hotel chains where we hold employee and client events) additionally provides for: (i) the supplier to deliver a draft invoice which we have 15 days to dispute, (ii) once we sign off on the draft invoice, the supplier may submit a final invoice, and (ii) we have 90 days from receipt to pay the final invoice, unless otherwise agreed. With respect to intra-EY network contracts, we may provide various services to other firms within the wider EY network (“EY Firm(s)”) and EY Firm(s) may provide various services to us. Standard payment terms with respect to such contracts are 60 days after invoice receipt. Any undisputed amounts owed to EY Firm(s) may be set off against amounts owed by EY Firm(s) to us."

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Any other information about payment terms

"As required, our statistics include figures for payments to external “3rd party” suppliers and payments made under intra-EY network contracts to other firms within the wider EY network (“EY Firm(s)”). Accordingly our statistics are not a fair and accurate reflection of our figures so far as they relate to our 3rd party suppliers. If only payments to external 3rd party suppliers are considered then our average time to pay is reduced to 32 days and 91% of invoices paid in the reporting period are settled within 60 days of receipt. If we were to report solely on our payments to our external 3rd party suppliers, our statistics would be as follows: Average Time to pay in days Percentage of invoices paid in 0 - 30 days - 67% Percentage of invoices paid in 31 - 60 days - 24% Percentage of invoices paid on or after 61 days - 9% % Payments due in the reporting period not paid within the agreed period - 25% "

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

Dispute Resolution Process

"With respect to contracts with 3rd party suppliers (as opposed to contracts with other members of the EY network), if EY disputes an invoice in good faith, we first notify the relevant third-party supplier of the amount in dispute and the nature of the dispute and may withhold payment of the disputed amount until the dispute is resolved in full. The general position relating to the dispute resolution process is that the appointed service managers (and, if applicable, senior service managers) for each party first attempt to resolve the dispute. If the service managers cannot resolve the dispute and both parties agree the dispute may be referred to mediation. If either party does not agree with the dispute being resolved by mediation then disputes are referred to arbitration. The exceptions to this process are: (i) standard agreements for the purchase of physical hardware and agreements for the purchase of original equipment from manufacturers, which agreements do not include the mediation step and (ii) standard purchase orders which purchase orders do not include the service manager resolution or the mediation steps. With respect to intra-EY network contracts, disputes are first referred to mediation by the global executive of Ernst & Young Global Limited. If the global executive fails to negotiate a mutual settlement, disputes are finally settled by arbitration."
