Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Under PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's standard contractual terms we commit to the payment of all undisputed sums properly due to third party suppliers within 30 days of receipt of a valid invoice in PwC’s central processing centre, payables.invoices@uk.pwc.com. The substantial majority, in volume and value, of supplier expenditure for the PwC UK Firm is procured through PricewaterhouseCoopers Services Limited, a subsidiary company whose principal activity is to provide professional and support services to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The payment practices and performance in respect of this expenditure is included in the separate Duty to Report submission for PricewaterhouseCoopers Services Limited.

Dispute Resolution Process

Standard contracts: For PwC standard contracts we seek to resolve any issues in the first instance between the authorised representatives of the firm and the supplier. Both parties should, where possible, meet within five days of the dispute arising and should continue to perform their relevant obligations, whilst working together to resolve the dispute. If the matter cannot be resolved, the issue may require escalation to senior members of both the supplier and PwC. Should it be required, the firm will seek the assistance of the mediation services of the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) - for more information: https://www.cedr.com/commercial/. Implied contracts: The above process will also apply where there is no formal contract in place. The authorised representative will be the supplier’s main contact with PwC for these purchases (typically the person who ordered the goods or services and who has been named on the invoice).

This is where a supplier who has submitted an invoice can be paid by a third-party finance provider earlier than the agreed payment date. The business would then pay the finance provider the invoiced sum.
