Oil & Gas Case Study

A $7.2B acquisition put immediate pressure on finding synergies.

The deal gave leadership little time to map the combined business. Fragmented data, a complex operating structure, and limited internal capacity constrained the analysis.

The situation

What they needed to solve

Map the business structure after a $7.2B acquisition
Immediate pressure to identify acquisition synergies
Review $112M of SG&A for savings and risk
Automation, cost, risk, and control opportunities in scope
Work around fragmented data and limited internal capacity
ADP employee data, GL and AP detail, and vendor and contract data living in separate systems
What the Super Audit found

$8.5M in savings opportunities identified

The Super Audit integrated ADP employee data, GL and AP detail, and vendor spend and contract data into a single audit model. Of the $8.5M, $2.8M comes from AI automation savings and $2.4M from risk and compliance fixes.

Vendor & Equipment Compliance

$3.3M
  • Unmonitored certificates of insurance (COIs) and maintenance records created operational liability
  • $400K in duplicate third-party compliance tool fees

Accounting Data Labeling & Coding

$2.8M
  • Manual invoice extraction and unstandardized GL coding caused processing delays across $112M in SG&A line items

Contractor Risk & Day-Rate Optimization

$2.4M
  • Unstandardized contractor rate structures
  • No automated time or milestone auditing before approval queues
