Billing Compliance & Supplier Contract Audits Explained
Billing Compliance Audit: Lower touch, quicker results
A Billing Compliance Audit compares detailed purchase orders to submitted invoices at line-item detail to ensure agreed-upon terms and conditions are being met. At the same time, broad-based analysis of all commercial elements contained within contracts, including pricing, rebates and allowances, leaves no benefit unrealized.
Supplier Contract Audit: Deep and broad, maximum value and excellent insights
Typically applied to your most high-risk, complex contracts with higher spend volumes, a Supplier Contract Audit not only identifies and uncovers value but provides significant insights into how your contracts are being operationalized.
| Elements | Billing Compliance Audit | Supplier Contract Audit |
|---|---|---|
| Data Audited - Primary | Client | Supplier |
| Targeted Suppliers | Quality in-house line-item data exists - Typically, direct spend | High complexity/spend contracts and/or Quality in-house data doesn't exist - Typically indirect spend |
| Annual Supplier Coverage | Typically, 50 to 100+ | Typically, 10 to 25+ |
| Testing Focus | Pricing, rebates, allowances | All material financial exposures |
| Range of Recoveries | .25% to 1% | .5% to 5% |
| Formally Announced Audit | Never | Always |
| Supplier Interaction | Limited | Recurring & direct |
| Client Involvement | Lighter touch | Key governance and settlement roles |
| Pricing Structure | Annual program | Individual supplier |
