Audits aren’t the end. For many suppliers, they’re just the beginning of a whole new deduction headache.
Post-Audit Deductions: The Slow-Motion Margin Killer
Imagine this:
You wrap up an annual audit. All looks good. Clean bill of health.
Three months later? You’re hit with $87,000 in “discovered” deductions from the audit period.
These retroactive claims often come with little detail, zero context, and even fewer options to dispute.
This is the post-audit trap—and it catches even the most seasoned finance teams off guard.
Why It’s So Dangerous
Post-audit claims are hard to track and even harder to dispute if you haven’t been saving backup docs or keeping audit timelines organized. Most AP teams are swamped, and this stuff falls between the cracks.
HRG doesn’t let that happen.
We keep tabs on the timeline, the deduction types, and the recovery window so post-audit surprises don’t derail your quarter.
