Dispute resolution process
The main point of contact for invoice queries is the UK Accounts Payable Team, who process approved invoices and follow internal processes to deal with and resolve invoice queries. They can be contacted via a dedicated, shared e-mail address and in return communicate either by e-mail or phone. On the rare occasions that resolution cannot be reached with the Accounts Payable Team, unresolved invoice queries may be escalated to Financial Controller on a case by case basis for resolution.
