Revenew will actively listen to these concerns and develop a simple metric which will be used to evaluate performance after each audit.

Revenew International has a flat organizational structure. The culture of the company is best described as entrepreneurial, results-focused, no wasted time, minimal reporting requirements, minimal internal meetings, no hidden agendas, politics are never tolerated, and “we’re all in it together.” The company is simply focused on its customers, which in turn drives revenues.
