Telecommunications Cost Reduction and Recovery Audit

By recognizing the need for an in-depth telecom audit, clients are making huge strides in optimizing telecom costs. Accucom’s Accu-Audit service is an in-depth detailed audit of all existing telecom inventory, services and contracts.

The fact of the matter is that even though telecom rates are decreasing; the cost per user is increasing due to increased services and excessive billing errors. When was the last time your organization conducted an in-depth audit of your existing telecom services?

In the majority of companies, due to the number and complexity of telecom invoices, Accounts Payable or IT staff typically review bills by briefly comparing costs to the previous month. This leads to paying bills without proper analysis and review. However, the majority of errors occur upon implementation of services or when any change is made to an account, hence this type of review while quick, is extremely ineffective.

If your organization does not conduct a regular analysis that identifies and provides an understanding of what it is paying for, there is an extremely good chance that is has been over paying for services for months or years.

The goal of Accu-Audit is to provide our clients with a detailed record of lines, services, and equipment being utilized while simultaneously reducing costs through carrier refunds, eliminating billing errors, reducing excess costs, and contract optimization. Through our step by step detailed functionality test, we certify that all lines and services stated in the carrier billing are in fact in existence and belong to your organization. Upon the completion of our functionality test Accucom verifies if the associated billing is in accordance with existing contracted rates and ordered services.

By analyzing our detailed findings Accu-Audit is able to provide a precise definition of costs incurred, refunds owed due to over billing and items that will result in future savings. Additionally, due to the fact that most organizations contracted rates and terms are unfavorable, Accucom will work with the carrier to provide protective contractual terms and current “best-in-class” pricing for existing services.

It is a fact that somewhere in your organization’s bills received for telecom services, you are overpaying for what you ordered! Most organizations have abandoned the idea of trying to obtain refunds from the carriers by utilizing internal resources because the process is complicated and time consuming. Accucom’s Accu-Audit eliminates the need to utilize internal resources by providing a solution that has a zero net cost. By obtaining our fees from the refunds received and implementation of savings, there is no direct cost to our clients!

The Return on Investment is immediate and is always at least 100% as the fee for Accu-Audit is based strictly on the amount we are able to save our clients. Our typical client is able to reduce costs between 20 and 30 percent.
