Score of 93.8/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
MHA Audit Services LLP demonstrates strong payment speed, with an average settlement time of just 14 days, well below the standard 30-day threshold. The vast majority of payments (92%) are completed within 30 days, with only 8% falling into the 31–60 day band and no recorded payments exceeding 60 days. This distribution indicates a consistently fast-paying client with no history of severely delayed or defaulted payments.
Despite the strong average, a 15% late payment rate introduces a moderate level of unpredictability, meaning roughly one in seven invoices is not settled on the originally agreed due date. This discrepancy between the fast average payment time and the elevated late rate suggests that while most payments resolve quickly, a subset of invoices experiences initial processing delays before eventual prompt settlement. Suppliers should account for this variability when planning cash flow, particularly on higher-value invoices.
Overall, MHA Audit Services LLP represents a low-to-moderate risk client and is a broadly reliable payer, making them a suitable partner for most standard commercial terms. The 15% late payment rate is the primary concern and warrants attention, particularly for suppliers with tighter liquidity requirements. As a risk mitigation measure, suppliers may consider implementing clear payment reminder workflows at the invoice due date and reserving extended credit terms for transactions where cash flow flexibility exists.
