ELECTRIC, WATER AND GAS AUDITING
Are You Really In Control of Your Budget?
 Many of today's companies fail to realize the importance of auditing utility and telecommunication budgets and the accompanying monthly charges. Too often spending in this category is not verified due to an assumption of accuracy and cost efficiency. This leaves your company vulnerable to errors and overcharges. Cost Analysts, Inc. helps you take control back of your budget and spending for utility and telecommunications. An audit may be the best thing you can do now and in the future for your company, with the potential of refunds and savings resulting in the thousands of dollars.
In an attempt to make sure money spent is not money wasted, we offer the following services:
-
An analysis of current budgetary spending
-
An audit of all electric, water/sewer, and natural gas bills for errors and overcharges over the past 36 months
- A full analysis of current and past usage to ensure all tariffs are correct and provide the lowest possible cost
A detailed report containing all errors and overcharges,
with an explanation of areas of cost savings
Verifying the accuracy of invoices, evaluating the cost effectiveness of accounts, identifying unnecessary minimum billing charges, and uncovering redundant billing charges offers you the opportunity to see holes in your budget where your dollars could be leaking. Additionally, Cost Analysts endeavors, on your company's behalf, to correct any billing errors uncovered during the audit process and obtain a refund/credit for the full amount of the overcharge (within the statute of limitations). And because we deal directly with the proper utility departments, we cut through "red tape" to get available refunds quickly.
TELEMANAGEMENT
Deregulation has led to varying pricing structures and a lack of cohesion
 At Cost Analysts, we continually monitor and track these changes to help you reduce or remove unnecessary charges and fees, while keeping you abreast of new benefits and services. Allowing your company to:
- Avoid dedicating valuable resources and money
- Educate your employees on telephone tariffs, rates, discounts, promotions, and USOC codes
- Negotiate new services or contracts
Overall, your buying power is increased when you involve a third party because companies as a group can receive lower prices versus a single enterprise. Plus the convenience enjoyed by referring sales people, quotes and billing questions to us means you have more time to focus on your business.
Services offered by Cost Analysts through its Telecommunication Management Services (TMS) for your company are thorough and varied. Below is a list of what we can offer you:
- Billing audits for all local, long distance, wireless, data and Internet
- An evaluation of the cost effectiveness of line charges, usage charges, and feature packages
- A detailed report containing all errors and overcharges, with an explanation of areas of cost savings
- Constant monitoring of current changes occurring in the deregulation of the local telephone industry for opportunities to lower monthly costs, consolidate services, and remove redundant or outdated charges
