Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

A significant proportion of the firm’s suppliers provide services that are charged directly to the firm’s clients as disbursements. These client disbursement invoices are paid on receipt of payment from the client with the payment period, for the purpose of the calculation of average time taken to pay invoices, taken from the date of the original invoice. The standard supplier payment period for non-client contracts is 30 days. The average number of days taken to make payments to non-disbursement suppliers in the reporting period was 21 days.

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

Dispute Resolution Process

Payment processing is dealt with by the Accounts Payable function and any supplier payment queries that may arise are actioned by that team. In the event they are unable to resolve the matter, the query will be discussed between the supplier and relevant function manager or finance personnel to ensure satisfactory resolution for both the supplier and the firm.

Other Payment Information
