You can absolutely audit CAM charges yourself if you have your lease, your reconciliation, and a systematic process for checking both. Most CAM billing errors are not hidden; they result from applying the wrong percentage, wrong denominator, or wrong expense category. CAMAudit gives you the systematic process, doing all 13 checks automatically so you do not need a CPA or attorney to start.
TL;DR
Self-auditing with CAMAudit costs $199 and takes minutes; hiring a CPA costs $3,000 to $8,000 and takes months. Start with the automated scan and escalate to a professional only if the findings warrant it.
Who this is for
Tenants with a lease and reconciliation in hand who want to know whether they can run a meaningful audit without hiring a professional, or who want to screen for errors before deciding whether to involve a CPA.
Who this is not for
Tenants whose lease is highly complex, involves multiple properties, or includes unusual non-standard provisions that require legal interpretation before the audit findings can be evaluated.
