Standard payment terms
Deloitte is a network of independent member firms operating in particular countries and territories under a common brand, with certain entities that serve a coordinating role for the network. Deloitte GFS Limited (GFS) is an entity that acts as a captive service provider for certain members of the Deloitte network. GFS does not provide services to out-of-network customers or clients.
GFS’ standard payment period is 45 days from receipt of an approved invoice. This payment period is typically used when contracting with other Deloitte entities (in-network suppliers). In the limited circumstances that GFS has contracted with entities external to the Deloitte network (out-of-network suppliers), GFS has not required use of its standard payment period.

Any other information about payment terms
As required, GFS’ payment statistics include payments made under intra-Deloitte network contracts to other entities within the wider Deloitte network, not only payments to out-of-network suppliers. To improve transparency for out-of-network suppliers, GFS has calculated what its payment statistics would be if payments owed to in-network suppliers were excluded. If GFS only reported on its payment practices for out-of-network suppliers, its payment statistics would be:
Average time taken to pay out-of-network invoices: 36 days
Out-of-network invoices paid:
• within 30 days: 0%
• in 31 to 60 days: 100%
• in 61 days or more: 0%
Out-of-network invoices due but not paid within agreed terms: 0%
For purposes of calculating the payment statistics in these disclosures, GFS has relied on its accounts payable data. GFS has a practice of setting shorter payment terms in its accounts payable system than contractually required to facilitate prompt payments.
Dispute resolution process
GFS is committed to fair business practices and acting with integrity. GFS endeavours to resolve all invoicing disputes in a fair and timely manner.
In the event of an out-of-network dispute, out-of-network suppliers are encouraged to work with their primary GFS business contact to amicably resolve the matter. Unresolved matters can be finally settled in accordance with the agreed-upon contract terms.
In the event of an in-network dispute, in-network suppliers are required to attempt to negotiate a resolution with GFS in good faith. Unresolved disputes may be escalated through in-network governance mechanisms and, if necessary, resolved through arbitration.
