Developing trust is the number one issue for CEOs, according to the most recent PwC CEO study. When it comes to contracts, trust is often in short supply - and lack of confidence in supplier billing accuracy is one of the top issues undermining good relationships.\r
\r
On the surface, introducing a third party to undertake audits would seem to confirm and even amplify this lack of trust. But in reality, the opposite is often true. By creating confidence through an independent third party, the customer and supplier are able to focus their attention on more valuable and substantive issues than billing disputes. Their attention can turn to proactive problem solving and sources of improvement or innovation, confident that behind the scenes the receivables and payables are under control.\r
\r
Why does this matter so much? Because ultimately contracts are economic transactions and it's the money that really matters. So join us as we explore the world of contract compliance audits and how top global organizations utilize audits as a key component of their overall governance strategy for third party relationships. In addition to transparency, these audits offer financial and operational benefits that improve processes, controls, and economic outcomes. A well-managed contract compliance audit program will deliver significant ROI and ensure the full value of a strategic third party relationship is realized.\r
\r
