Traditional CPA CAM audits cost $3,000 to $8,000 and take 4 to 8 weeks. CAMAudit costs $79 for a single audit and delivers results in under 15 minutes. Industry research suggests CAM errors affect 35 to 40% of NNN lease reconciliations (Tango Analytics, 2023), with potential annual exposure varying by lease complexity and space size. If no errors are found, the cost is $79 for confirmed peace of mind.
TL;DR
The break-even point on a CAMAudit scan is a single overcharge of $79 or more; any finding above that amount produces a positive return on the audit cost.
