The Department of Commerce excluding the Science, Innovation and Business Division
The Department makes 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:
i) Late Billing - some creditors do not submit invoices for more than 30 days after the goods or services are supplied. The date recorded in the finance system is the date of the invoice (not the date the invoice is received) and therefore such invoices will appear as outstanding for more than 30 days even if they are paid on the day they are received.
ii) Grant payments - grant payments are made when certain milestones are met. The department needs to be satisfied these have been met and this can cause delays in payment.
iii) Misdirected invoices - payment can be delayed if invoices are incorrectly addressed and/or the original invoices are not received.
iv) Early receipt of invoices - invoices can be received from creditors prior to the goods and/or service having been received. The date recorded in the finance system is the date of the invoice (not the date the invoice is received) and therefore such invoices will appear as outstanding for more than 30 days even if they are paid on the day they are received.
(a) 25 creditors valued at $37,868.
(b) 10 creditors valued at $3069.
(c) Nil.
(d) 1 creditor valued at $3,735.
