What's on the agenda?
Drawing on their direct involvement in shaping policy and industry practice, Tim and Ellen will cover:
- The global state of e‑invoicing – and why it matters to UK construction
- Inside the UK Government’s consultation – what to expect next
- How late payment measures will impact large contractors – including reporting, compliance, and reputational risk
- Why receipting is now central to payment assurance – and how to make it work for you
- Practical next steps for procurement and finance teams
This session is designed for finance and procurement leaders at major contractors who want to stay ahead of regulatory change, improve payment performance, and reduce risk through automation. It’s especially relevant to teams looking to improve visibility, compliance, and supplier relationships within complex supply chains.
