Mitigate Risk, Cut Costs, & Increase Savings
SpendMend Contract Compliance

more contracts. It is unlikely that your in-house team has the time or the specialized expertise to make sure
the deals you have negotiated are the deals you are consistently receiving.

contracts are thorough and effective while making certain that all third parties are performing and invoicing
in compliance with their negotiated agreements.
The Impact of a Contract Compliance Audit
According to the International Association of Contract and Commercial Management, nearly 40% of commercial
contracts fail to deliver their full expected financial benefits. Non-compliance can potentially cost companies
between 0.5% and 5% of their annual spend. For any organization trying to cut costs and increase savings
wherever and whenever it can, a contract compliance audit will deliver immediate and long-term impact.
