Academics have said they issued repeated warnings about problems with a new IT system at Edinburgh University.

The university has apologised after payments to students, staff and suppliers were delayed by the rollout of a new financial system.

BBC Scotland understands senior academics and officials sent letters and reports detailing their concerns about the system.

The university said it was "working tirelessly" to resolve the issues.

The new People and Money (P&M) system is a centralised HR, payroll and finance system which the university first introduced in 2020 and completed its rollout this year.
