Cable Franchise Fee Audit

Without performing a cable franchise fee audit, a city may be leaving money on the table.  It is considered to be a good business practice to periodically confirm that cable companies are complying with local or state issued franchises.  

A cable Franchise Audit conducted by Troy & Banks includes:

1. Review of the Client's franchise agreements and related ordinances 
2. On-site visits to franchise, if necessary, to examine relevant data and supporting documentation
3. Identify all revenue sources by classification, verify calculations and search for unopened revenues
4. Examine cable operator's database to determine if all active addresses within Client's legal boundaries were included in franchise fee remittances
5. Recalculate the franchise fee due the Client using the approved rates 
6. Issue a report summarizing and explaining our findings
7. Negotiate a financial settlement with the cable operator if an underpayment exists
