Why do you need
an audit?
There can be many reasons for inaccurate cable
franchise fee receipts:
1. Incorrect classifications of revenue.
2. Misunderstanding of what sources of revenue
should be included in the calculation of your
payment.
3. Subscribers not properly classified in your cable
provider’s billing system.
4. General mathematical errors.
If
you don’t have a thorough understanding of how the
payment is put together, an understanding of how the
billing system is used to output information, or how
the language in your contract relates to the cable
company’s accounting system, you wouldn’t know what
goes into your payment and whether you are receiving
all the money you should.
Audit Masters has that understanding and will
put it to work for you.
We will obtain the necessary information and
analyze all aspects of the payment, leaving no stone
unturned, right through the completion of the
collections process.

Something for Nothing? |
 |
|
Whoever said that “you
can’t get something for nothing,” surely
hasn’t worked with Audit Masters.
By partnering with Audit Masters for
a risk free audit, the municipality is
entering into an agreement which requires no
initial out-of-pocket costs.
The payment comes entirely from the
recovered funds, funds that the municipality
wouldn’t receive without an audit of its
payments.
If Audit Masters can
not locate inaccuracies in the calculation
of the franchise fee payment, the
municipality pays nothing.
It’s that simple, your initial audit
is
completely risk free.

|
Maintenance and Assurance |
 |
|
After the recovery and collection of funds
from your initial risk free audit, we will
continue to assist your municipality by
offering an ongoing maintenance and
reporting plan.
By working with you and your local
cable television provider, we’ll help
maintain the accuracy of your updated
payments.
You will be confident that all future
receipts have been carefully and thoroughly
reviewed for payment accuracy.
