AUDIT PRINCIPLES Sample Clauses

AUDIT PRINCIPLES. ESI recognizes the importance of its clients ensuring the integrity of their business relationship by engaging in periodic audits of their financial arrangements with ESI. ESI provides this audit right to each and every client. In granting this right, ESI’s primary interest is to facilitate a responsive and responsible audit process. In order to accomplish this goal, for all clients, ESI has established the following Protocol. Our intent is in no way to limit Sponsor’s ability to determine that ESI has properly and accurately administered the financial aspects of the Agreement, but rather to create a manageable process in order to be responsive to our clients and the independent auditors that they may engage. If Sponsor has any concern that this Protocol will prohibit Sponsor from fully confirming its financial arrangement with ESI, we encourage Sponsor to express such concern at the audit kick-off meeting.

AUDIT PRINCIPLES. ESI recognizes the importance of its clients ensuring the integrity of their business relationship by engaging in annual audits of their financial arrangements with ESI, and, where applicable (i.e., Medicare Part D), by auditing compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. ESI provides this audit right to each and every client. In granting this right, ESI’s primary interest is to facilitate a responsive and responsible audit process. In order to accomplish this goal, for all clients, ESI has established the following Protocol. Our intent is in no way to limit Sponsor’s ability to determine that ESI has properly and accurately administered the financial aspects of the Agreement or complied with applicable regulatory requirements, but rather to create a manageable process in order to be responsive to our clients and the independent auditors that they may engage. ESI strongly encourages clients to have their auditors, without jeopardizing the independent nature of the audit, review the auditor’s initial findings and reports with ESI prior to discussing with the client in order to avoid any unnecessary client confusion. In addition, clients should not initiate a new audit until all parties have agreed that the prior audit is closed. We have found often times that items identified as issues during the initial audit turn out to be non-findings once a dialogue takes place between the auditor and ESI. In other words, we believe it is in everyone’s interest to ensure that the auditor and ESI are not simply “missing each other” in the exchange of information prior to the auditor reviewing its findings with the client.
