Historical Telecom Audit and
Cost Recovery
According to the Gartner Group, an international corporate research
firm, most invoices from communications service providers contain
errors that favor the provider. Such over billings may exceed ten
percent of total network spending if proactive auditing practices
are not in place. At TMI, we offer the auditing practices that recover
your companys money.
As part of our Bill Audit and Cost Recovery Service, TMI professionals
will audit invoices, identifying and eliminating errors in tariff
applications, rates, taxes, and surcharges. TMI will contact your
communications provider to negotiate credits or refunds for prior
overpayments, and to negotiate future contracts.
TMI does not require any upfront fees or retainers from our client
companies. Instead, we work on a contingency fee basis. If we dont
find billing errors that result in refunds or credits for you company,
you pay no fees for our services.
Our fee is a percentage of the refund or credit we negotiate for
you. This is one-time fee, and there is no charge for your future savings.
