Any other information about payment terms
Payment statistics disclosed in this report have been calculated from the date valid invoices are received by our invoicing processing team. An invoice is deemed valid if it meets our invoicing guidelines to enable its processing.
Dispute resolution process
The main point of contact for disputes is the Boston Consulting Group UK LLP's Accounts Payable team. For a valid submission of an invoice the supplier is required to provide the purchaser details and a charge code which must be provided at the time of purchase. An invoice cannot be processed without this information. If an invoice is disputed, the first point of contact will be the nominated purchaser who is expected to resolve the issue and provide the required information. This information may be requested from the supplier by the purchaser. Where this is not possible the Accounts Payable team will contact the supplier directly. The dispute is resolved when the required information is provided to the Accounts Payable team.
