Uncle Sam isn't the only one performing audits these days. More and more office tenants are taking a closer look at their landlords' books.The goal: to make sure they are not being overcharged.

“TENANTS ARE LOSING MONEY”  The Chicago Tribune"Eighty percent of all commercial  tenants are overcharged by their landlords.“

Sarbanes‐Oxley and Control of Corporate Real Estate LeasesFor corporate real estate managers, Sarbanes‐Oxley presents a problem because much of theOxley presents a problem because much of the data they report to management are incomplete and only marginally reliable.

How do you know if you have un-known lease issues?

The problem persists because

• Landlords fail to properly manage and administer facilityexpenses and issue tenant adjustments

• Landlords are unaware how to adequately measure the square footage of their facility

• Landlords do not secure proper tax adjustments of their property

• Tenants are not aware of the practice of getting standardized measurement verifications before they sign their leasemeasurement verifications before they sign their lease.

• Tenants unreservedly trust the Landlords practices and information

• Tenants are busy running their business and do not have the time, resources or knowledge to properly review the landlords billings
