For all Departments and Agencies the following should be noted -
Late Billings
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 invoices (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 not approved for payment until any dispute is resolved.
Misdirected invoices (external)
Some creditors submit invoices to the wrong address and the invoices do not reach Agencies or Departments until they are after 30 days.
Misdirected invoices (internal)
Some Agencies or Departments have decentralised budget controllers and sometimes invoices can be sent to the wrong budget controller causing delays.
Grant payments
Grant payments are subject to a lengthy approval process, which can result in delays in payment.
