In-house lease administrators are valuable but rarely have time to perform a systematic 14-rule CAM audit on every reconciliation. Outsourced CAM audit tools give the same administrator 10 times the coverage in a fraction of the time. The question is not whether to involve your lease admin but how to maximize what they can audit with the time they have.
TL;DR
In-house review provides institutional knowledge and direct access to the lease file; CAMAudit provides systematic coverage of all 14 rules without relying on the administrator to remember every clause in every lease.
Who this is for
Organizations with in-house lease administrators or legal teams who currently review CAM reconciliations manually and want to evaluate whether an automated tool would improve coverage and efficiency.
Who this is not for
Solo tenants without a dedicated lease admin function; for single-location tenants, the comparison is between self-auditing with CAMAudit versus hiring a CPA, not between internal and outsourced review.
Pro-Rata Share Error

CAM Cap Violation
Multi-year cap tracking that is difficult to maintain manually across a portfolio.
