AuditRes AR / Collections · Operational use case

Advertising agency pass-through cost disputes

Pass-through disputes require proof of the underlying authorized cost and the agency's agreed markup treatment.

Records needed for this question

Client authorization, supplier invoice and agency fee schedule.

How to investigate

Separate disallowed supplier spend from a disagreement about the management fee.

An illustrative review decision

A client may approve the media purchase but dispute the agency markup. Separate those components so the evidence supporting the supplier cost is not used as a substitute for the fee agreement.

What can lead to the wrong conclusion?

Evidence that a supplier was paid does not prove the client approved the purchase.

The result to retain

A cost-and-markup review with distinct dispute reasons.
