Dispute resolution process

All invoice queries and complaints are sent to a central accounts payable mailbox. Each e-mail is assigned a case number and priority listing. Members of the accounts payable team then review these case numbers in priority order and deal with as necessary, escalating to team leaders where required. Once a conclusion has been made, the case number is closed on the system. The SLA is to turn around cases within 24 hours although more complex ones may take longer.
