Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
What does a telephone inventory and audit process entail?
Answer:
CACC conducts a seven-step process to inventory your bills and services,
and then to audit them. For each client, the time to conduct this process
varies as each client has unique needs and faces challenges which are
different from any others.
Question:
How do we begin an audit with CACC?
Answer:
The seven steps in this process are:
1. Sign two
(2) copies of the Contract.
This
contract makes a legal agreement between you and CACC, Inc. to examine
your telephone records.
Send one (1) original to:
CACC, Inc.
32884 IH 10 West
Boerne, TX 78006
Keep the other copy for your records.
2. Send two (2)
copies of the Letter
of Agency to CACC. Each copy must bear an original signature.
This letter makes it possible for CACC to work with the telephone
vendors on your
behalf.
3. Send a list of
all telephone account numbers and associated vendors to CACC.
4. After CACC receives
all of the above information, CACC requests your billing records from
the utility company, then reviews them. This portion of the inventory
usually requires 30-45 days.
5. CACC verifies
your services and equipment against your billing records. Sometimes
it is necessary to conduct a physical inventory of lines and equipment.
If so, CACC will schedule a convenient time for the consultant to perform
this task.
6. If CACC finds
errors in your billing records, CACC will secure your refund from the
utility company.
7. When you have
received all refunds and CACC is confident that your billing records
are correct, the inventory is complete and a final report is sent.
Question:
How can our company's total refund be estimated?
N.B.
This is an example only, not an estimate of recovered charges.
Answer:
The client has been billed incorrectly from 1994 to 1999 by both the
local telephone company and long distance provider. CACC has recovered
the following overcharges for the client:
After a credit has
been applied to the client's account or a check has been received from
the utility company, CACC bills the client for fifty percent (50%) of
the total amount recovered.
Question:
How does CACC determine how much money our company will save in the
future?
N.B.
This is an example only, not an estimate of savings.
Answer: The
client's expenditures for local and long distance are:$ 2,000.00 per
month.
After the CACC inventory,
audit and analysis of billings, the client's telephone expenditures
decrease to: $ 1600.00 per month.
The savings
equal: $400.00
per month
Therefore,
CACC bills the clients as follows:
$ 400.00 x 24
months = $ 9,600.00 savings over 2 years
$9,600.00
x 50% = $ 4,800.00
In this example,
CACC will invoice for $ 4,800.00
Question:
How can my company pay this bill?
Answer: Payment
plans are available for the future savings portion of the audit. CACC
also customizes monthly or quarterly billing payments at your request.
