Any other information about payment terms

The performance figures include payments made to numerous large professional services providers which, given their nature, require detailed review before approval and payment. Accordingly these payments can contribute to a longer average number of days to pay and a higher percentage of payments due not paid within the stated payment period.

Dispute resolution process

Dispute resolutions are handled on a case by case basis based on individual facts and circumstances. ICE Benchmark Administration Limited seeks to resolve disputes as quickly as possible; we have a dedicated accounts payable team that support suppliers with query resolution. In the event that the accounts payable team is unable to resolve a dispute, they will refer the matter to senior management for resolution.
