What is CAM reconciliation software?

CAM reconciliation software automates the process of verifying a commercial tenant's year-end CAM reconciliation statement. It compares what the landlord billed against what the lease actually permits, flagging errors like pro-rata share miscalculations, management fee overcharges, cap violations, and excluded expenses billed as pass-throughs.

How is CAMAudit different from hiring a CPA or contingency auditor?

CAMAudit runs 14 deterministic detection rules in under 15 minutes for a flat $79 per audit. CPA auditors typically charge $5,000–$25,000 per audit and require 4–12 weeks. Contingency firms take 30–50% of recoveries. CAMAudit is not a replacement for legal counsel on complex disputes, but it identifies the specific rules and calculations to challenge before you spend on professionals.

What documents do I need to upload?

Upload your annual CAM reconciliation statement (from your landlord) and the relevant sections of your commercial lease, particularly the CAM definitions, expense inclusions/exclusions, and pro-rata share provisions. CAMAudit extracts the data using AI and runs the detection rules automatically.

How accurate is the CAM reconciliation audit?

The 14 detection rules are deterministic: they apply the exact formulas from your lease to the figures on your reconciliation. The AI extraction step interprets your documents; more clearly formatted documents produce more accurate extractions. The free audit shows you which rules ran and what was detected before you pay to unlock the full report.

Can CAMAudit handle NNN, modified gross, and gross lease structures?

Yes. CAMAudit applies the appropriate detection logic based on your lease type. Gross and modified gross leases trigger the Gross Lease Charge Detection rule. NNN leases trigger the full suite of 14 rules. Base year and expense stop structures trigger the Base Year Error and Gross-Up Violation rules.

How long does the CAM reconciliation audit take?

Under 15 minutes from upload to findings in most cases. Document extraction runs in parallel using AWS Textract and AI; the 14 detection rules execute deterministically against the extracted data. Complex multi-document uploads may take longer.

What is a CAM reconciliation service vs. CAM reconciliation software?

A CAM reconciliation service is a firm that reviews your statement manually, typically a CPA practice or commercial real estate consulting firm, charging hourly rates or contingency fees. CAM reconciliation software like CAMAudit automates the rules-based portion of that analysis, delivering instant findings at a fraction of the cost. Software handles the math; you decide whether to involve legal counsel based on what the software finds.

Is CAM reconciliation software the same as lease management software?

No. Lease management software (Nakisa, Visual Lease, LeaseQuery, Leasecake) tracks lease portfolios, ASC 842 compliance, critical dates, and payment schedules. It manages lease data from the landlord or corporate finance perspective. CAM reconciliation software like CAMAudit serves the opposite role: it audits the landlord's reconciliation statement against your lease terms to detect overcharges. You can have perfectly organized lease data and still overpay CAM every year if no one checks the landlord's math. CAMAudit checks all 14 overcharge categories for $79 flat in under 15 minutes.

Start Free CAM Audit How It Works

Why CAM Reconciliation Software Matters

Commercial CAM reconciliation statements routinely contain billing errors: management fee overcharges, pro-rata share miscalculations, gross-up violations, and cap breaches. Most tenants never audit because manual review takes weeks and professional auditors charge thousands upfront, or take 30–50% of any recovery they find.

CAM reconciliation software changes that math. CAMAudit identifies the specific rules to challenge in minutes, so you know whether hiring a professional auditor or attorney is worth it before spending anything beyond a flat audit fee.

Common CAM Reconciliation Errors That Cost Tenants Money

CAM reconciliation errors fall into two categories: math errors and classification errors. Math errors include pro-rata share miscalculations, management fee overcharges above the lease cap, gross-up applied to fixed expenses, and year-end true-up arithmetic that does not reconcile with the estimated payments already made. Classification errors include capital improvements billed as operating expenses, landlord overhead passed through as CAM, and services your lease explicitly excludes from the reconciliation.

CAMAudit runs 14 detection rules covering both categories. Every math rule uses the exact formula from your lease; no estimates, no approximations.
