property auditing


Property Expertise

Property does not administer itself. Management must be confident that all charges are correct. In times of changing legislation, market practices and trading environments, there is a need for greater focus to detail by Finance and Property Directors, Managers and Administrators.

Effective property management can be hindered for many reasons including

  • Refocusing of priorities
  • Changes in personnel
  • Breakdown of processes
  • Database upgrades
  • Lack of resource
  • Limited expertise in smaller operations

Scope
The scope of an audit is agreed with the client in advance of an assignment. If a client has concerns regarding particular areas of the portfolio these can be highlighted e.g. service charges, business rate liabilities etc. This also ensures that there is no duplication of a service which may already be in place.
