Your challenge · Audits

Find the billing error before your client does

Auditing a bill means knowing exactly what the tariff says the charge should be. RateAcuity gives you the verified schedule, every component, and its rate history, so variances show up in minutes.

The same job, two ways

The manual way

Days per account

Locate the tariff PDF → confirm it’s the current filing → hand-key components into a spreadsheet → hope nothing changed mid-period → recheck everything when the client questions a number.

With RateAcuity

Minutes per account

Search the schedule → export verified components with effective dates → match against the bill → document the variance with the rate history on file.

The audit moment

The variance shows itself

Lay billed charges against verified tariff components and the difference is right there, including the mid-period rate change the utility applied and the invoice missed.

  • Billed vs. tariff, component by component
  • Mid-period changes flagged with effective dates
  • Rate history as your evidence

Common questions

Do you cover riders and surcharges?

Yes, audits live and die on riders, so components include them with their own effective dates and history.

What about mid-period changes?

Every rate carries its effective date and rate history, so prorating a mid-period move is arithmetic, not archaeology.

Can we automate validation?

Yes, teams running continuous bill validation use the API to check every invoice against the verified tariff.
