Dispute resolution
When AP receives a query from a vendor regarding a payment for an invoice, a check would be done to see if the invoice has been processed for payment. AP would then provide the vendor with the details and breakdown of the payment. AP would also confirm that the remittances are being sent to the correct email address and update if needed. If the invoices had not been paid AP would provide an update of the status of the invoice and work with the business to get the invoices paid and to try to prevent late payment going forwards. Once the invoices are paid AP would contact the vendor again to confirm they had received the funds.

What a 21-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 21-day vs a 1-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 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).
