FOI 11525

Payment of Invoices

Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to know the average time taken for the council to pay invoices submitted to it by suppliers. I would like this data for the year ending March 31 2015.

 If the year end (March 31) makes responding to this request difficult, please base the response on the year end in the council’s latest annual report/financial accounts.

Response

Further to your FOI request I can confirm the average time for the council to pay invoices for the financial year 2014/15 is 18 days.
