The Audit Process
A LAUDIT Lease Audit involves a step-by-step process that insures a
thorough review and analysis of all lease-related billings for compliance with
the terms and conditions of the lease.
Pre-Audit
LAUDIT will work with the Client to review the lease portfolio; define
locations to be audited; establish basic procedures, lines of communication, and
electronic scanning of all lease documentation.
Audit
During the Audit Review or "Desk Top Audit", LAUDIT will thoroughly review
the Audit File and for each location, will prepare analyses, identify potential
irregularities, and submit a report with recommended actions to be taken.
Audit Closeout & Follow-up
Lease Audit savings may take many forms and often involve future credits
and adjustments. The results achieved today may be eroded quickly by other
adjustments a landlord makes to its property management practices as a result of
the audit.
Once the audit is complete, LAUDIT will prepare a final Status Report
identifying a schedule of follow-up activities that may be required to insure
that the savings are fully realized over time. LAUDIT will continue to monitor
leases and expenses as necessary going into the future to protect and verify
savings.
