A merchant processing audit involves an auditor scrutinizing a business’s process statements to ensure every processing fee aligns and is consistent with the fees stipulated in their agreement. A thorough merchant processing audit can uncover errors and report accordingly if the credit card processor took as much as an extra penny.
