| Company History: |
Established in 2001, AARM audits
advertising and media agencies for errors, omissions, billing and reconciliation
anomalies, duplicate billings for third-party services, sales tax overcharges,
unapplied vendor discounts and other potentially problematic charges. AARM’s
audit recovery practice ensures advertisers that their agency has been in compliance
with the Agreement terms.
Based on our experiences and client successes, every advertiser should be performing this kind of detailed
review on a periodic basis to facilitate transparency, trust and a strong financial relationship with
their agency partners. Learn by looking back, and then apply the new knowledge to enhance future
return on investment.

AARM’s audit process utilizes AArmor
Client-Agency-Interface (CAI) Analyticsä data
testing into each audit engagement. AArmor CAI Analyticsä was
built specifically to audit 100% of the financial and accounting transactions
occurring at an agency on behalf of an advertiser. The software interfaces
with specific advertising agency accounting systems to produce analysis in the
form of roughly 90 pre-defined tests and reports, including all potentially discrepant
instances that may be negatively impacting a client. This ability is unmatched
in the industry.
