Utility Auditing

What We Do

EOC Group works as cost reductions experts to remove erroneous charges and billing discrepancies charged on the telecom/utility invoices.

We have the suppliers provide you with a refund on overcharges and errors, and create true and uncontested monthly reductions in your utility expenses. Once removed and corrected, this is money you never have to pay again.

The Auditing Process

We perform audits off-site without the use of your staff. As a result, there is only a minimal time involvement required from the client.
Step 1. All we need is a copy of a few months' utility/telecom bills and any original contracts to begin auditing.
Step 2. We will assign a group of professional auditors to audit the client's requested utility or telecom bills for errors or discrepancies
Step 3. Our auditors will update the client on errors and discrepancies found during the auditing process. We will ask permission from the client before implementing any changes.
Step 4. Once the audit is complete, approximately 6-8 weeks, a summary review of the findings will be presented to the client.
Step 5. We will implement and correct any errors and assure future bills will remain error free. Any refunds found will be sent to the client from the provider.

Auditing Service

Due to complex utility rate structures, often times billing errors will occur on an invoice and remain unnoticed because most errors are less than 10% of the average charge. However, these errors can remain on the bill for years and become incorporated into your monthly utility budget. Errors in tariff and tax classifications, meter readings, charges for non-existing services, complex billing codes will accrue month after month if they are not fixed on the user's end. The coding and language used by the providers is industry specific, making it virtually impossible for an accounts payable department to effectively review the invoices. In most cases we are able to go back anywhere between 36-48 months in your billing to make corrections and obtain refunds.

Evaluation of the cost effectiveness of line charges, usage charges, and feature packages
Constant monitoring of current changes occurring in all areas of the telephone industry for opportunities to lower monthly costs, consolidate services, and remove redundant or outdated charges

Risk Free! No Up-Front-Costs! No Obligations!

We do not charge our clients any upfront fees or consulting charges to perform an audit. Unlike other types of auditing services that charge by the hour, whether or not savings are found, we find it more economical and beneficial for clients to charge on a contingency basis. All we ask is to share a percentage of the findings in order to compensate our auditors. There is absolutely no risk on your behalf. If we do not save you money; you don’t pay. There is nothing to lose - but much to be gained!

SUCCESSFUL AUDITS AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS
