Any other information about payment terms

We have paid 100% of all third-party suppliers within 60 days and 98% within 30 days. 100% of small third-party suppliers within 60 days and 97% within 30 days.

Dispute resolution process

The firm has a dedicated Finance Service Desk which is reachable by phone and email. Suppliers with invoice queries need to contact this team. The team will be able to advise on the status of the invoice/payment. If the dispute is around incomplete invoices or missing information the accounts payable team will contact the supplier to obtain the missing information. If there is a dispute with the invoice, the finance service desk team along with the accounts payable team will liaise with the Deloitte contact who ordered the goods/services. The Deloitte contact will liaise directly with the supplier to resolve the dispute and inform the accounts payable team of the outcome so they can amend our system and make the payment.
