Revenue accounting is the lifeblood of a telecommunications company. Our understanding of the process allows us to provide specialized analysis to this complex, high-risk process and provide a level of service that is not available from firms that do not specialize in the telecommunications industry.

Specifically the process of carrier access billing (CABS) provides unique challenges for telecommunications entities. Current and proposed changes to this process emphasize the need to be concerned with the accuracy of carrier access bills. This is a result of shifts from pooling to "bill and keep" for intrastate access and the provision of local service by competitive carriers in the marketplace. On the horizon are changes in the interstate revenue stream. The complexity in these processes makes it difficult to manage the risk of not detecting lost access revenues.

Our unique position in serving the telecommunications industry allows us to provide you with specialized information and analysis including:

• Overview of your revenue streams
• Analysis of your CABS processes
• Review of your local network billings
• Analysis of Switched access usage elements
• Training related to general ledger revenue accounting
• Analysis of automatic message accounting (AMA) & exchange message interface (EMI) records
