Evolution of Audits

Technology has become useful in performing accurate audits. We've stayed abreast of the technology, and created a much-needed niche market in municipal utility tax audit services.

Can your municipality afford to forgo $50,000 or more per year?

Azavar's audit services can help you recover taxes and enhance your revenue base.

This program is a full audit of each of your utility taxpayers — electric, gas and telecommunications providers. This large-scale effort is a first-of-its-kind program that blends Azavar™ Technologies proprietary data warehousing and data mining technologies with accounting discipline and aggressive revenue protection efforts. This program has already generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in missed, underpaid or incorrectly paid taxes.

The Azavar™ Azavar Audit Solutions Program^SM is not a review of your municipal electric, gas or phone bills to provide savings. But if you have used those types of services, you know how important it is to partner up with an expert who understands the complexities of modern utility billing and data warehousing systems.

Beginning the audit process is simple.

Finalizing our fee agreement is the first step. Our fees are contingency based, however some municipalities prefer a time and materials fee structure as is standard with audits. Authorizing Azavar’s data management professionals to work with the utilities on your behalf is the second step.

Once Azavar receives your written authorization, we will setup our initial kick-off meeting and carry out relevant research. Immediately we will begin working with your utilities to recover any owed tax as quickly as possible. Most of all, you do not have to expend much finance or administration department staff time or resources.
