Vend Audit Controls' proprietary VendCheck solution provides independent verification to ensure proper calculations of income and commissions from vending machines. Prior to VendCheck vending clients, such as schools or districts, were forced either to rely solely on trust, or conduct time-consuming and complicated manual audits. However, unlike manual audits, VendCheck uses standard vending industry DEX technology, in conjunction with DEX-capable handheld devices to monitor and track machine revenue.

Vending commissions paid to schools typically fund extra-curriculum school activities ranging from band to many non-sporting student activities.

How Schools Can Get Started With Their Own VendCheck Program

Whether a single school with a dozen or so machines or a school district with hundreds or even thousands of machines and multiple vendors, implementing a VendCheck is surprisingly easy.

All a school has to do is to contact Vend Audit Controls (http://www.vendauditcontrols.com) and request a VendCheck review. Upon completion of a review, Vend Audit Controls will determine to what extent a client is owed additional commissions and then take the required steps to recover this income.

Benefits of a VendCheck

In addition to new found dollars generated from a VendCheck, the program yields many other dividends:

-- The principal and staff win by demonstrating high standards of

accountability

-- Auditing, operations, purchasing and food service department

heads win through the creation of a complete audit trail for

the handling of this income stream.

-- The school district wins by ensuring financial oversight

Oversight may refer to:

, and

compliance with local regulations regarding auditing of school

revenues

-- And most of all, the students win through the continuation of

the extra-curricular programs they enjoy
