what our clients say

Working with PCR Audit has been an absolute pleasure. Their complete review of Accounts Payable was impressive. They identified items that we would not have discovered…overpayments, duplicate billings, duplicate payments, vendor contract pricing errors, as well as old open credit memos. I highly recommend PCR for any business seeking detailed Accounts Payable review. They provide exceptional customer care with great return.

Accounting

280 Bed Hospital

Not only were we all amazed by the results PCR produced and the expertise they possessed, but they also equipped us with tools to run a more efficient finance division (procure to pay) in the future.

AP Manager

We were immediately impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, and organized approach. My previous experience with AP auditors was limited to firms that send random questions from off-site. Not PCR… they took the time to understand our processes, vulnerabilities, and key contracts. While on-site, they were self-sufficient and presented ideas to reduce the probability of errors recurring. As a result, not only were we all amazed at the results PCR produced and the expertise that they possessed but were equipped with tools to run a more efficient finance division (procure to pay).

Controller

406 Bed Hospital

We were immediately impressed with their professionalism, knowledge and organized approach. They took the time to understand our processes, vulnerabilities and key contracts.

AP Manager

Our hospital changed Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO) last year. We engaged PCR to audit our pricing due to the hundreds of contracts conversions and the antiquated systems and processes we had. They were super to work with and found many discrepancies. They were true partners in this process and a pleasure to work with these past months. I would highly recommend engaging them for future such projects.

Director, Supply Chain

403 Bed Regional Hospital

Our accounting staff insisted that PCR would not discover anything material in the audit, so the contingent fee was important to convince leadership to pursue a detailed look.

AP Manager

PCR has been easy to work with and also accommodating when they find a claim, that we have already started to work on and knew about it, they take it off their list.
