Providing Quality Control

quality-controlAAM Audit Compliant.

PubCom has taken serious measures over the years to ensure quality control of the subscription orders we process. We take pride in our record of AAM compliance and will continue to evolve and adapt our technological systems and order screening to meet the standards that the industry demands.  Our circulation is reflective of responsible magazine subscription sales practices as defined by consumer protective services at local, state and federal levels.

At PubCom, we:

  • Employ quality control standards throughout our sales systems by performing background checks, state corporation searches, national and local Better Business Bureau searches and check all known business names with publisher banned lists.
  • Perform random spot checks on orders received including conducting internal audits.
  • Provide all sales operations with our “Guide to AAM & Publisher Audits” resource book that outlines AAM and publisher documentation requirements, record keeping tips, along with providing examples of required documents.
  • Employ a PubCom Audit Representative that has a direct relationship with the AAM organization and with our sales offices providing document requirements and reporting guidelines.
