CAM Reconciliation for CFOs and Financial Controllers
The NOI leakage you can't see — until a tenant auditor finds it for you
What Keeps You Up at Night
No visibility into whether CAM reconciliation math is correct until a tenant dispute surfaces
Audit exposure: tenant-side auditors (Tango Analytics, Visual Lease) are hired on contingency to find errors landlords missed
Revenue leakage from systematic underbilling — gross-up errors, missed expense categories, cap calculation mistakes
SB 1103 compliance risk in California: failure to respond to Qualified Commercial Tenant requests within 30 days triggers treble-damage liability
Year-end close delays because reconciliation process takes too long
Your Typical Reconciliation Workflow
CFOs review CAM reconciliation at a high level — total billings vs. budget, aggregate recovery ratios, any disputes flagged by property managers. Reconciliation details are delegated to property controllers. CFO involvement spikes when a tenant disputes or files an audit request.
Time Spent on CAM
CFOs spend 10–20% of Q1 on CAM-related review, escalations, and dispute management. That increases significantly in years when tenants retain outside auditors.
Common Errors in Your Role
No independent verification of ERP output — trusting Yardi or MRI to self-report errors
Systematic underbilling not discovered until acquisition due diligence exposes it
Liability from SB 1103 non-compliance in California not on the radar
Recovery ratio variance between properties never explained or investigated
Capital expenses flowing through operating expense pools (billing tenants for CapEx)
How CapVeri Helps
CapVeri gives CFOs a portfolio-level view of CAM recovery gaps, liability exposure, and reconciliation accuracy — without requiring technical knowledge of ERP configuration. The first audit is free: run it before your Q1 reconciliation cycle to establish baseline leakage.
Time Savings
ROI model: modeled recovery range of $5,900–$35,300 per building depending on CAM pool size and lease complexity. At $699/audit (1–5 tier), a mid-scenario recovery of ~$17,700 represents approximately 25x ROI.
