What a Telecom Audit Covers
A telecom audit reviews your entire communications environment to validate service accuracy, identify waste, and highlight modernization opportunities. Typical areas of review include:
- Carrier and provider contracts
- Invoices, rate plans, and recurring charges
- Usage data across voice, data, and mobile services
- Network assets and provisioning records
- Vendor performance and service-level compliance
What an IT Audit Covers
An IT audit focuses on your broader technology environment and the internal controls that govern it. Working with an experienced IT auditor, leaders assess risk and improve performance through reviews of:
- Hardware and software inventories
- Access controls and data-security measures
- System configuration
- Change management, backup, and recovery processes
- Regulatory and compliance alignment
Common Challenges
Across both telecom and IT, complexity is usually the biggest culprit when expenses balloon out of control. Vendor contracts vary wildly, billing errors hide in the details, and unused services quietly drain budgets.
Meanwhile, shadow IT and legacy systems expand risk — keeping teams reactive instead of strategic.
Why It Matters
Focused telecom and IT audits turn uncertainty into clarity. They help leaders make informed decisions, improve accountability, and free up budget for innovation.
The result: better governance, compliance, and technology — while forging a clear path toward digital transformation.
Scope and Components of a Telecom Audit
A well-executed telecom audit helps companies find the exact point where usage and waste intersect.
Profit Advisory Group uses a mix of human expertise and advanced platforms — SmartFusion and PAGassist — to uncover hidden costs and validate billing accuracy. We also build stronger billing controls into your company’s practice and culture by auditing:
- Carrier invoices, rate plans, and recurring charges
- Contract terms, renewals, and rate compliance
- Usage trends, roaming, and overage charges
- Voice, data, wireless, MPLS, WAN, and SIP trunk services
Common Red Flags
- Double billing/duplicate line items
- Phantom or inactive services that continue to generate charges
- Miscoded rates or out-of-contract pricing
Scope and Components of an IT Audit
Your IT audit analyzes how technology assets, policies, and controls align with business goals. By examining both financial and security dimensions, organizations gain a clear understanding of risk exposure and modernization opportunities. PAG specifically audits:
- Software licensing, cloud subscriptions, and hardware inventory
- Usage versus entitlement for key platforms and tools
- Contract alignment and vendor performance
Security and Governance Focus
What Happens If You Go Without an IT Audit?
Professional, routine IT audits help you keep your SaaS, infrastructure, licensing, and other core aspects of your technology operations in proper shape.
Without periodic review, organizations face escalating license costs, unmanaged shadow IT, and mounting compliance exposure. These risks erode ROI, weaken security posture, and complicate transformation initiatives — often without anyone noticing until an issue arises.

The Secret Synergy Between Telecom and IT Audits
Most technology environments are deeply interconnected. Communications, infrastructure, and cloud systems share data, vendors, and budgets — making it difficult to isolate costs without expert insight.
Reviewing telecom and IT together gives organizations the complete picture that single-focus audits often miss. These audits deliver the greatest impact when planned and interpreted by experienced telecom or IT auditors.
Where Telecom and IT Overlap
Many core business functions span both domains, making a combined audit approach essential for understanding true costs and performance of the following:
- Network infrastructure
- Connectivity costs
- Unified communications
- Cloud interconnectivity
Seeing the Bigger Picture
Telecom and IT audits often uncover insights that extend beyond billing errors. When aligned, they drive stronger cost optimization, faster remediation, and tighter vendor accountability.
Together, they strengthen long-term planning — supporting modernization efforts, digital transformation, and strategic reinvestment.
