NOI Audit
Our NOI (net operating income) audit provides a comprehensive analysis of a given asset's financial performance, with a particular focus on the trailing 12-month period. We validate the historical operating statements through a rigorous set of agreed-upon procedures. We make normalizing adjustments to the asset's operating history in order to provide a more accurate representation of its current financial performance. Our clients use our findings to establish an in-place NOI as a starting point for making future financial projections.
The analysis generally includes the following steps:
Reconcile total revenue and total expenses from the general ledger to the operating statement.
Select a representative sample of leases for review and confirm the economic terms of the leases as compared to the most recent rent roll.
Compare total revenues for the last 12 months from the operating statement to total cash deposits from the bank statements.
Review real estate tax bills, service contracts, payroll expenses, and insurance invoices to determine actual costs incurred.
Perform a fluctuation analysis of each expense component for the most recent rolling 12 month period and the last two calendar/fiscal years for all operating expenses.
As necessary, complete tenant-by-tenant cash receipts testing, accounts receivable analysis, and common area maintenance (CAM) review.
