Dispute resolution process
Each case is treated individually. The Accounts Payable team will review the purchase order and/or contract and attempt to resolve any issues with the supplier. If there is a dispute regarding the delivery of goods or services, the purchaser will communicate with the supplier and seek to reach an agreement. In the unlikely event that an agreement cannot be reached, external mediation would be sought, in accordance with standard terms.
