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 that they are unable to resolve the matter, the query will be discussed between the supplier and relevant contractual service owner or finance personnel to ensure satisfactory resolution for both parties.
