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. Accounts in dispute Accounts are not approved for payment until any dispute is resolved. 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. Department of Justice At 30 June 2003, there was $22,571,881 owing to 1,973 creditors.
