Department of Environment and Conservation
The Department of Environment and Conservation made every effort to pay creditors within 30 days, however there are circumstances under which this is not possible. Examples, which are reflected in the figures below are:
Accounts in dispute
Accounts may, on occasion, not be approved for payment if there is a dispute over satisfactory delivery of goods or services.
Grant payments
Grant payments are not made until the department is satisfied that any required milestones have been met. This can cause delays in payment.
Misdirected invoices
Payment can be delayed if invoices are incorrectly addressed.
(a) The amount outstanding for less than or equal to 30 days as at 30 June 2007 was $15 956 983.32. The number of creditors was 1,307.
(b) The amount outstanding for more than 30 days and less than or equal to 60 days as at 30 June 2007 was $55 080.22. The number of creditors was 15.
(c) There were no creditors outstanding for more than 60 days and less than or equal to 90 days as at 30 June 2007.
(d) The amount outstanding for more than 90 days and less than or equal to 120 days as at 30 June 2007 was $7 317.80. The number of creditors was 3.
(e) There were no creditors outstanding for greater than 120 days as at 30 June 2007.

(a) $1 091 747 and 50 creditors
(b) - (e) Nil
Perth Zoo
The Zoological Parks Authority makes every effort to pay creditors within 30 days and has policies and procedures in place to manage these payment terms. On occasion there are some creditor invoices that are unable to be processed within 30 days but these instances are minimal. The types of situations that may cause this to occur include:
? Creditor failing to submit invoice in a timely manner and then using the transaction date as the invoice date rather than the date they issue the invoice. This can result in the date received by the agency being well after the date on the invoice.
? Invoices received by the agency but on hold pending the issue of a credit note to be offset against the invoice.
? Invoices received by the agency but on hold as goods not received or services satisfactory performed.
? Invoices not issued correctly by creditor (i.e. not tax compliant, computations and costing incorrect) and payment delayed while invoice is being amended.
? Original invoice not received or misplaced and duplicate copy required from creditor to enable payment.
(a) The amount outstanding for less than or equal to 30 days as at 30 June 2007 was $270 528.09. The number of creditors was 103.
(b) The amount outstanding for more than 30 days and less than or equal to 60 days as at 30 June 2007 was $2 012.49. The number of creditors was 9.
(c) The amount outstanding for more than 60 days and less than or equal to 90 days as at 30 June 2007 was $505.03. The number of creditors was 1.
(d) There were no creditors outstanding for more than 90 days and less than or equal to 120 days as at 30 June 2007.
