APPI Savings Solutions
Utility Audit Service
A significant amount of phone and utility bills contain errors. To identify these billing errors requires skill and a dedication of staff time. These resources are generally in short supply. As an association member benefit, APPI audits your energy, utility, and telecommunications accounts to identify billing errors and overpayments, and analyzes rate structures to determine your true cost of service. The Utility Audit Service assures billing integrity and savings.
The Audit Process:
APPI performs an audit of current invoices for electricity, natural gas, water, waste management, freight, check processing, credit card processing, and telecommunications services.
- Identifies incorrect fees, billing errors, and overpayments.
- Analyzes rate structures and tariffs for savings opportunities.
- Corrects billing errors, and adjusts bills moving forward for immediate savings.
- Secures refunds on monies due from billing errors or incorrect rate structures.
- Evaluates alternate service providers and program options that reduce the cost of service.
- Monitors your accounts to assure billing integrity and savings.
There are no upfront expenditures, hourly fees, or retainers for your business. APPI is compensated only when it demonstrates and delivers savings to your business. There is no obligation until you decide to implement APPI’s audit recommendations. The process is risk-free, improving your bottom line.

“APPI
audited the association headquarters’ utility bills.
TADA’s telecommunications contract had an auto-renewal
clause. The contract renewed for three years and included
a minimum monthly spend of $2,500. Many services were redundant
and unnecessary due to changes in TADA’s business. APPI
reduced the term of the contract to two years, reduced the
monthly minimum to $700 and removed unwanted lines and services.
Total savings will be $40,000 over two years.”

“I participated in the Affiliated Power Purchasers Int’l (APPI) Utility Auditing Program. By taking a few minutes to gather my utility bills, APPI was able to secure a $25,000 refund for Austin Foam Plastics, Inc. True to APPI’s word, they took care of the process for us, while, at the same time, providing good quality customer service. The Utility Auditing Program is an AICC member benefit worthy of investing the time in to start saving money.”

“By simply taking the time to copy a recent bill for each of my utilities and sending them to APPI, my operating expenses were cut by $400 per month. The results were amazing considering that APPI did not even need to physically visit my restaurants. The $9,600 I will save over the next two years on waste removal, credit card processing, and telecom is especially helpful during these uncertain economic times.”
