Dispute resolution process
All invoices are input into the finance system and sent for approval via that system to the relevant department that initiated the spend. If
there is a dispute with the invoice, the department which initiated the spend would be responsible for querying this with the supplier.
Upon resolution, the department would either approve the invoice on the finance system or would request a revised invoice to be
issued.
Once the invoice has been entered into the system and approved in line with the authorisation limits, the invoice will be paid on the
following payment run. Payment runs are done once per week.
