Dispute resolution
It is initially established whether an invoice has been received. If this is not the case, a copy invoice is requested. If an invoice had already been received, it is then established if the invoice has been appropriately authorised and due for payment in accordance with the agreed payment terms. If this is the case, the payment is made. If this is not the case, the reasons are investigated internally and appropriate action taken. If the matter cannot be resolved it is referred to the Chief Financial Officer and the Office of the General Counsel .

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
