Utility companies make lots of billing mistakes. Although
these mistakes may be unintentional, they are difficult to
detect. And the utilities are neither motivated nor required
to offer customers their lowest rates. The net effect is
that companies routinely pay bills that are fraught
with errors, and needlessly overspend by tens of
thousands of dollars per year.
A thorough, detailed audit of all electric, natural gas,
water, sewer, local telephone, long distance, cellular,
internet, and data invoices as performed by Cost Control
Consultants uncovers these billing errors and over-
charges and secures refunds and savings for our
clients, returning much-needed dollars to their
bottom line.
We carefully review all invoices, going back as far as
36 months when appropriate.
We analyze your current and prior usage to determine
the cost effectiveness of individual accounts with each
utility/supplier.
We make sense of the confusing fees, surcharges,
codes and tariffs that appear each month and identify the
“black holes” where your money disappears.
We employ auditors who are fully trained in
deciphering utility tariffs, rate plans and USOC codes.
They have experience working directly with individuals and
departments within each utility and telecommunications
company to eliminate the “red tape” that can bog down
your business when billing issues arise.
We manage all necessary correspondence and
negotiation on the client company’s behalf to rectify billing
errors and to request refunds.
We perform our audit work off site to minimize the time
and assistance required from clients.
We monitor the current changes occurring in the
deregulation of the local telephone industry to advise you
of opportunities for future savings.
We provide a comprehensive Utility Management
Report per account, plus detailed report analyses
illustrating current utility/telecom usage, costs, definition of
billed tariffs, and recommendations for cost reductions.
