Dispute resolution process
If an invoice is incorrect, then it is marked as 'in dispute' in the accounting system. The Budget Holder is then contacted to provide the shared finance team with adequate information for them to be able to investigate the query. All communications with the supplier should be noted and notes attached to the invoice. Once the Budget Holder is satisfied the invoice is accurate, they should sign the invoice to authorise payment. Once authorised, the invoice can be released for payment in the Trust accounting system.
