In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Publisher clients are paid from self-billed invoices on the agreed payment dates, the majority of which are typically paid one month after the end of the month of product onsale, and based on EPOS data where applicable. Standard purchase ledger supplier invoices are settled within 30 days from receipt of a valid invoice.
Dispute resolution
Accounts Payable engage with the supplier and relevant internal account manager to assist in resolving disputed payment queries. Ultimately, any differences between the parties are subject to the laws of England and Wales and the jurisdiction of the English courts, although it is extremely rare that disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation with the supplier/publisher client.

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).
