Lease Audit Service Line for CPAs

CAMAudit is a forensic CAM reconciliation audit platform that CPA firms and accounting practices white-label to offer lease audit services under their own brand. Clients upload their lease and reconciliation statements. CAMAudit runs 14 detection rules and returns a findings report. The firm delivers it under their name at wholesale cost.

What Is CAM Reconciliation?

Landlords charge tenants a pro-rata share of building operating costs (CAM). Each year they issue a reconciliation showing actual versus estimated charges. Errors are common: management fee overcharges, pro-rata miscalculations, gross-up violations applied to fixed costs, and CAM cap breaches that compound over time. A CAM audit verifies the math against the lease terms.

How White-Labeling Works

1. Your firm signs up for a wholesale credit bundle. Choose the tier that fits your expected audit volume. Credits are prepaid annually at wholesale rates.
2. Clients upload documents through your branded portal. They submit their lease and year-end reconciliation statement. CAMAudit extracts the data and runs all 14 detection rules automatically.
3. You deliver the audit report under your firm's name. The findings report carries your identity. You set your own retail price. The wholesale cost is fixed by your bundle tier.

Why CPAs Add CAM Audit to Their Service Line

• CAM overcharges are systematic across lease types: management fees billed above the lease cap, pro-rata share denominators that exclude anchor tenants, gross-up applied to fixed expenses, and cap violations that accumulate year over year.
• Tenants rarely audit without professional help. The reconciliation statement arrives annually with a short window to dispute. Most tenants lack the tools and expertise to review the math themselves.
• The audit window is typically 1 to 3 years. CPAs can identify approaching deadlines and flag them as part of client lease review engagements, adding measurable value.
• Findings reports give clients negotiating leverage. Instead of general concerns, they have line-item discrepancies with dollar amounts and the specific lease provisions at issue.
• CAM audit pairs naturally with lease review and expense advisory work. If your firm already reviews financials or advises on occupancy costs, adding audit capability extends the engagement without a separate build.
