Any other information about payment terms

The Accounts Payable Manager and Chief Financial Officer have continued to work closely together to identify high value suppliers which we hoped to defer payment to a later date. A single member of the accounts payable team was designated with the task of liaising with suppliers to discuss possible payment deferral. The Accounts Payable Manager subsequently contacted the supplier directly through telephone to agree a payment plan in situations where the supplier refuses any initial request for payment deferral. In situations where no agreement can be made, the decision is escalated to the Chief Financial Officer to agree and negotiate payment options. Failures to make good of payment plans are addressed directly by the Accounts Payable manager.
