The average payment time for DELOITTE GLOBAL SERVICES LIMITED is 33 days, indicating that while some payments are prompt, the majority occur just beyond a standard 30-day term. With 55% of payments falling into the 31-60 day range, there's a clear trend towards settling invoices within this slightly extended window rather than strictly within 30 days. This trajectory suggests a consistent operational tempo where payments are reliably processed, albeit not always immediately.
Payment reliability is high, with 95% of invoices settled within 60 days, providing a predictable timeframe for suppliers. The 14% late payment rate and 5% exceeding 60 days introduce a minor but identifiable risk factor for occasional cash flow delays. However, the strong concentration of payments between 31-60 days suggests low overall volatility in payment patterns.
Overall, DELOITTE GLOBAL SERVICES LIMITED demonstrates a dependable payment history, with a strong likelihood of settlement within 60 days. Suppliers should set expectations for payments to typically fall into the 31-60 day bracket, rather than expecting strict 30-day adherence. To manage the minor risk of late payments, suppliers could establish slightly longer standard payment terms or implement proactive follow-up for invoices approaching 60 days.

Any other information about payment terms
As required, DGSL’s payment statistics include payments made under intra-Deloitte network contracts to other entities within the wider Deloitte network, not only payments to out-of-network suppliers. To improve transparency for out-of-network suppliers, DGSL has calculated what its payment statistics would be if payments owed to in-network suppliers were excluded. If DGSL only reported on its payment practices for out-of-network suppliers, its payment statistics would be: Average time taken to pay out-of-network invoices: 35 days Out-of-network invoices paid: • within 30 days: 34% • in 31 to 60 days: 60% • in 61 days or more: 6% Out-of-network invoices due but not paid within agreed terms: 18%
Maximum contractual payment period agreed

DGSL is committed to fair business practices and acting with integrity. DGSL values its supplier relationships and endeavours to resolve all invoicing disputes in a fair and timely manner. For out-of-network suppliers, DGSL has dedicated resources that oversee supplier relationships, including addressing supplier inquiries and concerns. In the event of a disputed invoice, out-of-network suppliers are encouraged to work with such resources and/or their primary DGSL business contact to amicably resolve the matter. Unresolved matters can be finally settled in accordance with the agreed-upon contract terms. In the event of an in-network dispute, in-network suppliers are required to attempt to negotiate a resolution with DGSL in good faith. Unresolved disputes may be escalated through in-network governance mechanisms and, if necessary, resolved through arbitration.
