The Department is introducing electronic document management systems (EDMS) to reduce the amount of time invoices spend in transit. This improves the number of invoices arriving in accounts processing due to loss of paper.
A date stamping system has been introduced to monitor the average time it takes for the Department to pay an invoice and also track it to ensure payment within terms.
The Department does not send hard copy invoices with faulty approvals or errors in coding back to the cost centre, seeking instead fax and email or phone communication to correct errors. This shortens the time for correction or clarification.
Department of Education Services
(1) Nil
(2) Invoices are generally paid within 30 days as required under Treasurer's Instruction 323. Invoices may be paid later than the due date, but this is more frequently due to invoices being misplaced or lost and occasionally when the invoice is in dispute.
