DIRECT-BILLED UTILITY AUDIT AND TARIFF ANALYSIS

THE PROCESS

The audit process begins with the gathering of data, so that we can eventually analyze the billing statements from all of the client’s utility providers for each of their facilities.

Since we recognize that the purpose of the audit is to save our client money, not burden their staff, every attempt is made to minimize any inconvenience during the information gathering process.

Once we have a representative bill copy for every account, we go to work gathering historical usage and cost data from the utility of at least 12 months, and longer if it is available.

Some of the items we perform in our audit:

• Determine whether all charges are actually the client’s responsibility, and ensure that they are for legitimate, current accounts
• Identify all meters and make sure they are functioning and being read properly.
• Audit billing for tariff compliance
• Identify usage anomalies.
• Determine whether all services are being obtained at the lowest possible cost offered by the Utility.
• Identify and/or create strategies which use existing tariff structure to the client’s advantage
• Research and analyze alternative rates & tariffs, interpretations, applications and qualifications
