Dispute resolution

All supplier invoices are managed by the Accounts Payable team. If an invoice is queried the supplier will be contacted by a member of the team to request any missing information or updated invoices.

In respect to intercompany invoices, the Accounts Payable team will liaise with overseas counter-parties to resolve. If the matter is not resolved by working day 3 of the month, the Group Finance team will intervene and decide on the appropriate action.
