Meeting Agenda
Standard credit control advice works well for straightforward, low-risk invoices. But as invoice values increase, issues rarely stay simple. Disputes become more nuanced, delays are more deliberate, and routine chasing no longer delivers results.
This session goes beyond day-to-day credit control, offering practical guidance for managing high-value, complex, and difficult recruitment invoices. It focuses on what credit controllers can do in-house when matters escalate, and how statutory and legal tools can be used effectively before turning to external support.
Led by Barry Cullen, Partner and Solicitor at recLAW, the session provides clear, real-world insight into how the law can be used as part of the credit control process, not just as a last resort.
This session is aimed at credit controllers dealing with higher-value and more complex recruitment invoices, who want clearer options, stronger leverage, and better outcomes – all while retaining control of the process in-house for as long as possible.
