Any other information about payment terms

There has been an improvement since the last report, with a much higher amount of invoices being paid within 30 days and a reduction in the number that are paid outside of defined terms. Of those that were outside of payment terms, 26% were not received in our offices until after the invoice due date making them impossible to pay. This shows there is still a slight issue with invoices arriving in our offices on time, however this has dropped from 31% six months ago. 54% of those that missed due dates were paid less than 7 days after receipt which is standard based on our weekly BACS cycle.
