Dispute resolution process
Complaints or concerns would be raised by either the Accounts Payable team or the approving manager within the department with responsibility for the qualifying contract relationship, usually within one working day of receipt. If required, further information would be requested from the contractual counterparty to enable the complaint or concern to be investigated fully and resolved. Depending on the circumstances, the invoice would then be paid, or a credit note requested, or an amended invoice may be requested if the original was defective. Resolution of the complaint or concern may be dependent on responses from the
contractual counterparty but would typically be within 7 to 14 days.
