Our Big Chief’s Christmas Message :-)
23 Dec 2009 | Filed under: BusinessMany companies are now turning to outsourced providers of cost and purchase management. Chris Allison, Managing Director of Auditel, the leading exponent in this field, explains: “Effective cost and purchase management is intelligent and ethical and leads to sustainable growth. It should not be confused with short-term cost cutting exercises that treat problems in isolation and put clients, staff and society at risk.”
Over the past 15 years, Auditel have developed their own holistic Total Cost of Purchase ® approach to cost management consultancy. In that time, thousands of companies across the UK have benefited from engaging their services and improving profitability.
Although this recession may be V, W, U or even L-shaped, whichever letter of the alphabet it takes on, we all plan to be in business next year. So in ‘Surviving the Downturn’, the Institute of Chartered Accountants offers this advice to directors and advisers. ‘Now is a good time to review your cost structure. If you need to make savings, examine carefully how you can get the best value out of your business, enabling you to emerge leaner and fitter.’
Yet, accountants KPMG reveal, ‘although businesses are under constant pressure to reduce costs, many find it hard to do so in a sustainable fashion. Nine out of ten cost reduction programmes fail to achieve their targets, and the gains that are achieved appear to be short-lived. One of the single biggest barriers to achieving these targets is the lack of adequate processes within organisations to drive cost reduction.’
That’s why with an Auditel trusted adviser in place, our clients confirm that it’s like having an additional dedicated management team working for them. We quietly take care of all your complex cost and purchase management issues, leaving you to focus on your core business. What’s more, because we work on a contingency fee basis, there are no up-front investment costs, no resources tied up in a project waiting for results and no hidden charges.
