McAvoy is committed to fair dealing with all of our supply chain partners and transparency and timely resolution of disputed items. The key principles in this process are: Disputed invoices will be identified by McAvoy’s Finance Department initially and raised directly with the supply chain partner Supply chain partner can query invoices with our Finance team. If a resolution cannot be reached between the Finance Department and the supply chain partner, as a point of escalation the disputed invoices should then be raised with Senior Management, providing details of the invoice in question and nature of the dispute. Disputes will be assessed internally by Senior Management to judge accuracy and value. If the disputed invoice is deemed appropriate, the senior management will liaise with the supply chain partner organisation to review and resolve If a resolution cannot be reached a number of potential dispute resolution methods, for example mediation, adjudication, expert determination, litigation and/or arbitration, may be used.
