APL

The concept of profit recovery or transaction auditing to recover significant additional profits is finding favour with so many more large organisations that one of the principal players – Leeds based Audit Partnership Ltd – is busy recruiting more staff.

APL is the major British based profit recovery specialist with a client list which includes leading banks, supermarkets, retail groups and public sector organisations. Using a combination of specialist staff who know where to look, and powerful software which highlights areas for further investigation, APL has a track record of recovering significant five and six figure sums for large turnover operations.

‘No matter how committed and hard working an accounts team is, ’ David Thurman, APL’s Development Director explained, ‘skilled forensic examination of financial, operational and internal statistical records will identify potential losses. Without affecting the day to day operation of a company or tying up its resources, we examine the records on site or at our Leeds HQ, identify recoverable amounts and help collect them. Those organisations with a significant property portfolio stand to recover even more. We’ve a specialist team concentrating on rents, leases, business rates, service charges and all the other areas of property ownership and a very healthy track record in recovery there too.’

2006 saw a significant rise in the level of interest from leading corporates for primary, secondary and property auditing and as a result additional skilled staff are being recruited for APL’s field based teams across the UK and its Leeds based head office team.
