The read · computed from their figures

Ernst & Young Services Limited's H1 2024 filing put their average at 22 days against stated terms of 45 days; 27% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 0% took 61 days or longer. Filed 29 Jul 2024.

The direction is slower: from 18 days in H2 2021 to 22 now — 4 days slower across their last 6 reports.

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Ernst & Young LLP is the main trading entity for EY in the UK, not Ernst & Young Services LTD. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, EY will pay for third party goods or services, within 45 days of receipt of a correct, undisputed and properly due VAT invoice by EY UK's accounts payable team ([email protected])

Dispute resolution

With respect to contracts with suppliers, the general position is that the appointed service managers (and, if applicable, senior service managers) for each party first attempt to resolve the dispute (the EY point of contact varies from contract to contract). Additionally suppliers can contact EY’s dedicated accounts payable team ([email protected]). Such contacts would generally seek to deal with any disputes promptly (involving other senior EY contacts, as needed), in accordance with the terms of the contract.

How UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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).
