Flagship course
Reseller Margin Audit Fundamentals
A five-module path that teaches finance teams to reconstruct channel margin with the same rigor they apply to statutory close — using a financial auditing app for reseller margin analysis alongside live claim packs.

Learning outcomes
- Assemble a sell-in / sell-out bridge that reconciles to ERP residual.
- Classify rebate types and document accrual versus cash timing.
- Flag free goods, demo stock, and freight absorption as margin leaks.
- Prepare a partner-facing variance memo without overclaiming certainty.
- Operate the audit app workflow for sample selection and evidence tagging.
- Know when a finding needs tax or legal review instead of a workbook fix.
Modules
Each module ends with a scored worksheet. Pass criteria are published at kickoff.
2 · Building the residual bridge
Connect invoice packs, credit notes, and POS extracts until unexplained residual shrinks to a documented open item.
3 · Rebate calendars that survive close
Model claim windows, clawbacks, and accrual journals so controllers stop treating timing as unexplained loss.
4 · Leak patterns auditors miss
Hunt freight absorption, free goods, and tier misfires using sampling rules inside the audit app.
5 · Partner memo & limitation log
Write findings that distinguish evidence gaps from true overpayments — including what this course cannot certify.

FAQ
Do I need the audit app installed beforehand?
A sandbox login is issued at kickoff. You can follow modules with exported CSVs if your IT desk delays access, though sampling tools work best inside the app.
Will this certify our statutory audit?
No. This is a real limitation: Webapiconnect does not issue assurance opinions. Completing the course improves internal channel reviews; it does not replace licensed audit or tax advice.
What data should we prepare?
Anonymized sell-in invoices, two rebate claim cycles, and a POS extract covering the same SKUs. We provide a scrubbing checklist so partner names can stay masked.
Learner notes
Module 3’s rebate calendar forced us to stop netting timing differences into “unknown variance.” Our distributor still disputes one line, but at least the argument is precise.

★★★★☆Strong on worksheets. The partner memo template felt slightly rigid for our OEM channel, yet the limitation log idea stuck.
