Disputes or complaints can be received by the supplier contact or directly to the finance team. First course of action is to investigate if any reason for delay such as good not receipted, pricing discrepancy, payment error. If any such issues are preventing payment and affecting on going service, the issue is referred to the Director of Financial Services to make a decision regarding resolution. In the reporting period there has not been any need for any further action. We endeavor to investigate immediately and to keep the supplier informed of progress.
