Standard payment terms
As a business we do not have standard payment terms. We endeavour to pay invoices within 30 days of receipt so for the purposes of this reporting we have assumed 30 days as our standard payment terms. We have not agreed any exceptions to our standard payment terms and so for the purposes of this reporting the maximum payment terms applied is 30 days. We do not have fixed standard payment terms and the assumed standard payment terms have seen no changes during the period.

Dispute resolution process
When an invoice is received it will be reviewed by the relevant department to which the invoice relates (i.e. legal invoices will be reviewed by the legal department). If they have any changes to the invoice, they will communicate directly with their contact at the relevant firm before passing on to the accounts payable department. In the case where there is a request for payment where we believe the payment has already been made the accounts payable department will communicate directly with their contact at the relevant firm to resolve this. Disputes are dealt with as a matter of urgency and any delays are usually caused by lack of response from the supplier.
