Dispute resolution process

In the event that an invoice is in dispute then the payment query is referred to the department manager responsible for the contract. If the department manager is not able to reach a resolution, then this will be escalated to the CEO to reach a decision on payment. In the event that the dispute can still not be resolved, then the matter will be passed to arbitration.
