This list of audits will typically be in a geographic area and will give an estimated time frame for completing each assignment. While the median length of an audit is typically two weeks, we have many audits that are two to three days and several that might last up to 12 months. In situations where there is a lengthy stay, some of our auditors are housed in corporate apartments. Once received, the auditors contact our publisher members and make arrangements for when the audit will take place. Many auditors find this one of the more challenging tasks as it takes excellent organization and time management skills.
Auditors have full discretion to arrange the dates and times of their work assignments.
Once itineraries are scheduled, the auditors use their vehicle to travel to the location of the publisher member. Auditors stay in hotels near the publishers' office and commute between the hotel and office regularly. Once the assignment is completed, the auditor travels to the next audit assignment location and the course of travel starts over again. All expenses incurred by the auditor including mileage associated with travel between publishers' offices, hotel costs, and per diem are reimbursed by ABC on a weekly basis. Assignments Itineraries are assigned based on auditor experience, ability, and location.
