If there is a dispute with an invoice, in the first instance the central finance team will contact the supplier to resolve. Where additional information is provided, we aim to review this as soon as possible and either approve for payment or seek further clarification from the supplier. Where necessary, the finance team will contact the academy teams to help resolve the query. Payments are not made until the query is resolved. Upon resolution, disputed invoices are paid as soon as practically possible. Where a supplier wishes to escalate an issue, in the first instance they should contact the Finance Manager. If after the above processes have been followed and the supplier is unhappy with the resolution then they should contact the Chief Financial Officer.
