Services

Engaging with PCR on an audit is very easy and straightforward. With limited engagement from your staff (typically an upfront interview with your team and then the designation of a point person for help with vendor contacts), we can be up and running the entire claims process. PCR works on a contingency basis and invoices based on a percentage of funds we find for you. From historical purchases to current contracts, payables and returns we’ll audit not only the transactions within your supply chain but also craft recommendations on how to improve your processes going forward. When you partner with PCR you get not only financial gain, but also procedural improvements… and you get all with no risk.
