For companies, Lanza, a CPA and consultant who specializes in cost recovery, audit technology, and recovery auditing, details how to incorporate profit recovery technology in accounts payable departments. He explains the benefits and obstacles of cost recovery, how to assess opportunities and risk based on a company's control issues to identify the areas for recovery and process improvements, how to select a provider, and cost recovery categories such as telecommunications, utilities, health care, advertising, media, freight, tax reduction, project fraud, and travel and entertainment reviews. These chapters detail the process taken by the auditor, what to look for at the company when assessing, and what to look for in a vendor in the category, with case studies.
