In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
CAFOD’s standard terms for the payment of supplier invoices are 30 days from the date of invoice. Where contracts for services are agreed with particular suppliers that include payment terms of under 30 days, CAFOD’s practice is to settle these supplier invoices within the agree payment period. CAFOD’s standard payment practice is to run a weekly payment run settled through BACS payment to the suppliers nominated bank account, for all invoices were payment is due (by our standard terms or contractor specific terms).
Dispute resolution
Any disputes with suppliers about payments due will be dealt with by the CAFOD Finance Department. CAFOD does not keep a record of the date invoices were received, but does keep a systematic record of the Invoice date and the payment date. We do make additional payments out of the weekly cycle to suppliers where payment may be beyond agreed terms, due to administrative delays.

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).
