Distribution Cost Audit
A full-ledger review of freight, warehousing, handling, and last-mile charges against contracts and invoices for one distribution lane or network.
Who it is for
Importers, exporters, and domestic distributors in Taiwan who move goods through multiple carriers and third-party warehouses.
What you receive
A written findings report that names overcharges, missing credits, rate mismatches, and unclear surcharge lines — with a recovery worksheet and corrected cost map.
Included
- Sample of three to six months of freight and warehouse invoices
- Contract and tariff cross-check against billed rates
- Lane-level cost allocation for the selected network
- Exception list with supporting invoice references
- Closing walkthrough with finance and logistics leads
Not included
- Tax filing or statutory financial statement audits
- Carrier contract renegotiation on your behalf
- Ongoing bookkeeping or ERP administration
Who delivers the work
Senior cost auditor with warehouse and ocean freight invoice experience, supported by a reconciliation analyst.
How the audit proceeds
- Intake call to fix scope, lanes, and document list
- Secure document intake and ledger mapping
- Line-item reconciliation and exception tagging
- Draft findings for your internal review
- Final report and recovery worksheet delivery
Timeline and delivery
Typically three to five weeks from complete document receipt. Remote review with optional on-site kickoff in Pingjhen or at your warehouse.
What to prepare
Carrier contracts, rate sheets, recent invoices, warehouse statements, and a contact who can clarify shipment references
Constraints
Best suited when invoices are available digitally or as clear scans; handwritten dock tickets need extra lead time
Fees
Fixed engagement fee based on invoice volume and number of lanes; quoted after intake. From NT$48,000 per engagement.
