The purpose of the UPS Shipping Audit is to check for discrepancies and report anomalies in the standard shipping procedures. The audit check for those transactions where the UPS have made mistakes in shipment overcharged the customers, or are holding some loads for a long time with the purchases suffering because of the delay.
The audit follows a comprehensive checklist to establish there are no issues with the process of shipment and all the operations that are part of the shipping process. The examination also checks that refunds on late package shipments, credit returns and all other financial obligations arising due to shipment mishaps are adequately taken care of and there are no lapses in providing a professional service. These shipping audits are planned by both the internal auditing team that is part of the shipping company as well as external auditors that have the right to check any shipping function at any time of their choosing.
