The Minister for Resources has provided the following response: Department of Industry and Resources: (1) $2,910.84 - 2 creditors (2) The Department of the Industry and Resources makes every effort to pay creditors within 30 days, however, there are circumstances under which this is not possible. Examples, which cover the above outstanding creditors, are: · Late invoices 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. · Early Invoices Some creditors submit invoices prior to goods or services being fully provided. · 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. Minerals and Energy Research Institute of Western Australia: The Minerals and Energy Research Institute of Western Australia (MERIWA) has no outstanding creditors for greater than 120 days, as at 31 December 2006.
