Each criterion is scored from 1 to 5 on what the auditor sees on the day, and every gap goes into an action plan with an owner and a close date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"as-chktip wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AutoSmart tip:<\/strong> Accessory quotation audits should cross-check a sample of recent quotations against the final invoices for the same customer. A systematic gap between quoted and invoiced amounts \u2014 in either direction \u2014 indicates either unauthorised discounting, pricing errors, or post-quote additions that were not properly consented to. Both are compliance and customer trust risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The checks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group as-checks is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><p class=\"as-checks__note\"><span>Tap Yes, No or Maybe to try it: your answers stay in this page and clear when you refresh.
