Our standard payment terms vary according to the nature of the goods/services that we require but, in general, our standard payment terms for vendors are 30 days from the date of receipt of a valid invoice. There are two notable exceptions to this: (i) for technology vendors, our standard payments terms are 45 days from the date of receipt of a valid invoice; and (ii) for external law firms, we do not specify a contractual payment period, but generally commit to paying law firm invoices within 60 days from the date of receipt of a valid invoice. To the extent that law firm invoices form part of the “percentage of invoices due but not paid within agreed contractual terms” statistic in this report, we have worked on this basis.
