Good Reconciliation Processes Ensure Accurate Billing

Audits and reconciliation are essential components of the revenue assurance process. In order to ensure that you’re billing all appropriate charges, good reconciliation procedures are a must.

Whether switched access, special access or interconnection charges, CSS’s reconciliation procedures ensure that all usage is billed, and billed at the proper rates. Our processes look at every ordered product or minute-of-use, and verify that the billed amounts are correct.
