GLOSSARY TERM
Program Audit
A program audit walks the whole machine quarterly or semi-annually: deal profitability by partner and GEO, qualification and fraud rates, compliance of live affiliate placements, payment and adjustment hygiene, and portfolio concentration.
The questions that pay for the exercise
Which deals are underwater on player value and need repricing? Which partners’ quality drifted since their terms were set? Do live placements match declared sources and current compliance rules? Where are adjustments and manual overrides clustering — and why? Programs that audit on a calendar catch in weeks what unaudited programs discover in year-end write-offs.
