Audit Fast Track is an exciting new audit initiative designed with you in mind. As circulation departments are challenged to do more with less, ABC has strengthened its commitment to help you accomplish more with less.
Beginning with March 2009 audits, ABC is shifting the physical location of the field auditor away from your office to an off-site location managed by ABC. The vast majority of ABC’s more than 2,200 U.S and Canadian circulation audits will be conducted away from the publisher’s office by September 2010.
“Having participated in the centralized auditing process since the inclusion of metropolitan newspapers, I can personally tell you it is the only way to go! It is the most efficient and painless way to handle your ABC audit. Ninety percent of the requests and the exchange of files and information are handled electronically and, unlike the month long auditor visits of the past, the centralized auditing process provides much more flexibility for both the newspaper and the auditor.”

“Lee Enterprises has utilized the centralized auditing program for more than four years. We have an undemanding process to deliver the numbers to ABC quarterly. That means most of the number crunching is done by the end of the audit year. ABC auditors now spend less than a day on-site in most of our newspapers. Our circulation managers love it! The program just makes sense!”
