How much does it cost to be Audited by ABC?

The cost of an audit can vary depending on the size of your circulation and the different routes to market you have - but we like to say it typically costs less than one full page advert in one issue of your publication per year.   

ABC is a non profit distributing company and all our running costs are covered by our members in the form of an annual subscription fee.  We also have a one-off joining fee to cover the administration costs of setting up your product and initial consultation and aftercare.
