Dealership Audit

Dealership audit review connects inventory, sales, incentives, service transactions and manufacturer settlement records to identify exceptions.

Finance leaders, audit committees and process owners preparing a defined review of records and controls can use this service to clarify a particular issue. A useful starting question is: “Why should manufacturer incentives be reconciled separately?” Begin with the facts behind that question rather than assuming that a standard package will resolve it.

The engagement can cover the following workstreams. The proposal specifies which apply to your matter and what evidence or specialist input is needed.

• Reconcile vehicle or product stock movements.
• Review discounts incentives and warranty claims.
• Test cash settlement and service controls.

Start with the records below where available. They help establish the facts before a more specific checklist is agreed.

• Stock registers.
• Sales invoices.
• Incentive statements.
• Workshop records.

Provide the relevant entity, transaction or reporting period and any existing notice or deadline. Identify missing or inconsistent records so they can be addressed explicitly.

Manufacturer balances and dealership books may differ because of disputed claims or timing; each difference needs explanation.

1. Define the question: reconcile vehicle or product stock movements, using the available stock registers and the facts you provide.
2. Examine the evidence: review discounts incentives and warranty claims. Record unresolved information and the assumptions that affect the analysis.
3. Agree the action: test cash settlement and service controls. Set the required deliverables, responsible owners and any follow-up or external dependency.

The proposal for Dealership Audit sets out the analysis, documentation or coordination deliverables and the work you retain. The availability of stock registers, sales invoices, incentive statements and workshop records affects readiness and the amount of follow-up needed. Fees and the working schedule are agreed after that initial assessment. Any required independent report, legal representation or authority application is identified as a separate responsibility where relevant.
