The Post-Audit Process: A look at what our auditors examine - Part 2


In our last blog post, we launched the first of a three part series that looked at the post-audit process. This week we continue the three part series by taking a close look at essential steps that auditors at Freight Revenue Recovery of Miami (FRRM) taken when recovering overcharges. 
  1. Is the currency correct? If other than US pricing, check sources for proper conversion.
  2. Accessorial /add on charges: Are they proper and legal in terms of the contract in place? Why has carrier assessed detention charges? Why are port charges being assessed on a domestic move? Why are carriers assessing GST/QST charges on cross border movements? 
  3. Fuel Surcharges: Is the fuel surcharge component correct? Check other published sources for comparative pricing including established federal guidelines. There should be separate formulas used for TLTL versus Truckload shipments. 
  4. LTL Discount Programs: Are they correct in terms of the contract? Are they being misapplied because of joint line hauls with other carriers? Discounting off of what base structure can make a tremendous difference.
FRRM has many base formulas loaded in our system to make sure we get our clients the largest refund guaranteed.

Next week, we will conclude our three part series of what is examined in the Post-Audit process.
