What We DoF&B's focus is contractual compliance for BILLING of global networks. We make sure all circuits and components are billed at the contractual rate and/or are receiving the appropriate percent of discount. We also verify that the correct USOC (which drives the charge) is being used. While we do not focus on call detail for long duration calls, etc. we do check call detail to be sure the correct rates/schedules are being used. We are experts at verifying billing for voice/data networks as well as ATM networks, Frame relay networks, Managed Internet Service (MIS), ISDN, private line. We are also highly experienced in the field of taxes - verifying the application of Federal, State and Local taxes/surcharges/fees. Our focus is BILLING, we do not make changes/recommendations to your network. We make sure all billing is accurate and file claims to recover past overcharges. Over the years, our track record has been about 95% as far as successfully filing claims and negotiating the refund of overcharges.F&B constantly monitors the various Vendor Service Guides for changes that would affect our clients. We also monitor various websites and publications that address regulatory issues affecting telecommunications. We subscribe to a well-known nationwide tax information service that keeps us updated on all new taxes/surcharges/fees and keeps us informed on all associated rate changes. THE PROCESS: Once we have a signed contract and Letter of Agency, the auditing process can begin. Our clients provide us with bill copies (paper or CD's) for all relevant vendors. We also need contracts for any telecommunication service provided. We review the contracts and check the related billing to insure the terms of the contract are being met. When we find billing errors, we file a claim with the vendor through the appropriate channels. F&B Clients are ALWAYS copied on all F&B claim letters. All claims are thoroughly documented and, whenever possible, include an "estimated credit due" amount. Once the claim is resolved and credit has been issued, we invoice our Client. All F&B invoices will include documentation of claim filed, verification of credit issued and will note any savings resulting from the claim - F&B receives NO percentage of these savings.
