Energy Cost AuditingWe know how complex the world of retrospective billing audit is.Could your business benefit?
Businesses have seen a considerable rise in utility charges and it is essential to ensure your costs are in line with market trends. Can you free up any funds to reinvest in your business and help it grow?
The emphasis on procurement is paramount to the bottom line; however these markets have become increasingly volatile commodities and therefore the responsibility to deliver the most economical rate at the right time often leads to irregularities in other areas.
These markets have undergone substantial transformations, with the emphasis being on the delivered price – resulting in various elements of the supply chain being catastrophically overlooked. This has led to an increased growth of anomalies within the suppliers billing platform which in most cases will not be visible to you, the end user.
Energy Cost AuditingWe know how complex the world of retrospective billing audit is. Could your business benefit?
What We DoOur Energy Cost Audit team specialise in auditing the historical element of your electricity providers supply chain for incorrect costs. Our aim is to ensure that your business has only paid for the utility services you have used. Industry practise allows us to analyse the past six years of billing data to establish if communication between suppliers has been in accordance with the charges raised.
From our experience, all suppliers are billing erroneously. We can therefore look to deliver significant refund opportunities and on-going cost savings to you from the audit we will conduct.
The errors we find are traditionally not system driven or things you can identify yourselves as they are more analytical and further up the supply chain. Our Energy Cost Audit service compliments the work that is already being conducted in-house.
“one in every five of the accounts we analyse result in billing errors”
