Your organization partners with thousands of vendors, each governed by one or more contracts. Ensuring that every negotiated deal is fully honored requires time and specialized expertise—resources your in-house team may not have.

Why Does Contract Non-Compliance Persist?

Despite their best efforts, organizations continue to suffer from contract non-compliance in the cost cycle.
Key reasons for this are:

Supplier Self-Reporting:
Invoices submitted by suppliers do not align with the contracts
Large Contract Volume:
One or more contracts in place with thousands of vendors
Internal Issues:

Contract errors due to change, turnover, training, etc.

Impact of a Contract Compliance Audit

According to the IACCM, nearly 40% of commercial contracts fail to deliver their full expected financial benefits. Non-compliance can potentially cost companies between 0.5% and 5% of their annual spend. For organizations trying to cut costs, a contract compliance audit will deliver an immediate and long-term impact.
