Other information
The Company does not currently have in place a system to capture for all invoices the date of receipt of each invoice. As a consequence the Company has decided to use as the start date the date of invoice. Similarly, the Company’s systems do not have the functionality to identify for all invoices the actual date that the supplier received payment. Also, the Company’s payment systems are set up only to pay invoices on the due date for payment. Accordingly, in its calculation of the time taken to pay each invoice, the Company has added (in accordance with the UK Government’s guidance) the standard time it takes for a payment to clear in the supplier’s bank account (depending on the method of payment). This approach has no doubt contributed to an artificial inflating of the number of da

What a 56-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 56-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
