Services
Service Charge Audits
Our service charge audits examine reconciliations line by line to identify unfair costs, misallocations, and contractual discrepancies. We verify expenses against lease agreements and evidence requirements, ensuring transparency for landlords and tenants. Clients receive clear reports highlighting actionable findings to recover overpayments or confirm account accuracy.
Energy Procurement Audits
We review energy contracts and invoices to detect hidden margins, incorrect tariffs, and overpayment risks. By benchmarking rates against market standards, we identify discrepancies and provide evidence for renegotiation. Our audits ensure clients pay only for contracted services and receive fair terms during contract renewals.
Utilities Audits
Our utilities audits scrutinise water, waste, and telecoms billing for duplicate charges, incorrect meter readings, and service overruns. We compare invoices against regulatory standards and industry practices, delivering reports that enable clients to challenge invalid charges and optimise future contracts.
Rates Audits
We assess business rates for valuation errors, classification issues, and missed reliefs. By analysing property benchmarks and council billing accuracy, our audits identify overpayments and provide evidence for formal challenges. Clients gain confidence in compliance and potential refunds.
Contract Reviews
Our contract reviews identify hidden fees, ambiguous clauses, and pricing discrepancies in utility and service agreements. We verify terms against industry standards and client obligations, empowering stakeholders to negotiate fairer terms and prevent future overpayments through evidence-based recommendations.
