For NNN tenants, CAM audits consistently surface errors because the billing structure is complex enough that mistakes happen frequently. Industry data suggests 30 to 50 percent of NNN reconciliations contain at least one billing error. The flat fee for a CAMAudit scan ($79 for a single audit) is recoverable with a single line item correction in almost every case.
TL;DR
The cost of not auditing is invisible because the overcharge continues year over year and compounds; the cost of auditing is $79 and fifteen minutes of document upload time.
