What Is a Rebate Audit?
A rebate audit is a systematic review comparing the rebate a partner earned against what was claimed and what was paid, across every vendor and period, to surface unclaimed rebates, stalled claims and underpayments. It is the practical mechanism for finding and recovering rebate money that has leaked.
Why it matters to IT channel partners. An audit is how leakage becomes recovery. Partners rarely lose rebate money in one big, visible miss; they lose it in dozens of small gaps spread across programs and quarters. A rebate audit gathers earned, claimed and paid into one comparison, quantifies each gap, and produces the evidence needed to dispute underpayments and file the claims that were missed. It is the fastest route from "we think we're leaving money on the table" to a recovered figure.
