There are many complexities and unique areas in the motor trade where risk of profit and cash leakage are high, both for the manufacturer and the dealer. ASE have a proven track record of developing bespoke audit solutions so these issues can be identified early, and appropriate action taken.

ASE carry out a variety of bespoke audit projects:

Standards audit

A review of compliance within the dealer network with the manufacturer's corporate standards

Warranty audit

A review of the accuracy of the warranty labour rates across the dealer network.

Vehicle bonus audits

One of the most complex financial areas within a dealer's operation, audits have revealed numerous errors and in some cases fraud.

Bespoke Motor Trade Audits in action

ASE were asked by a major brand to conduct a warranty audit across their entire dealer network. The timescale required was tight - 4 weeks! ASE planned all the visits, getting the necessary 'buy-in' from the dealerships and visiting all the locations within the stated deadline. Such was the robust nature of the auditing process that, of the 250 reviews produced, only 2 resulted in queries of any kind from the manufacturer.

Harvey Robbins
Service Development Manager
Volkswagen UK

"Volkswagen has worked with ASE for over 5 years on a number of network wide audits to support the calculation of warranty labour rates. In recent years this audit has been combined with other Volkswagen Group manufacturers resulting in on-site audits of around 500 dealers being carried out effectively within a 3 month timescale.

"ASE have always planned the process very effectively and provides regular weekly progress updates flagging any issues on a timely basis. They also clearly place a lot of emphasis on a satisfactory review process to the extent that only 1 query was raised following the submission of results in 2011 for in excess of 250 retailers. They have also been pro-active in making suggestions for improving the overall warranty rate setting process."
