Post-Auction Financial Reporting: Ensuring Transparency

Post-Auction Financial Reporting: Ensuring Transparency

Just because the auction is over doesn’t mean your job is done. One of the most critical steps in the equipment liquidation process is the post-auction financial report — the document that explains what sold, for how much, and what you’re getting paid.

At Surplus Cascade, we deliver easy-to-read, fully itemized financial statements for every project. No guesswork. No delays. Full transparency.

What’s in a Post-Auction Report?

A professional auction financial report should include:

  • Line-by-line list of every item sold
  • Final hammer prices (with bid history, if requested)
  • Buyer names and locations (when permitted)
  • Total gross proceeds
  • Detailed deductions:
    • Commission and selling fees
    • Marketing or setup charges
    • Rigging, recycling, or disposal costs
    • Sales tax collected and filed
  • Final net payout to the seller
  • Disbursement date and payment method

Why Post-Auction Reporting Matters

  • Builds trust between seller and auction partner
  • Provides audit-ready documentation
  • Clarifies deductions and fees — no hidden costs
  • Supports planning for future asset sales

Our Reporting Timeline

At Surplus Cascade, we deliver reports within 5–10 business days after all payments clear and removals are completed. Each report is:

  • Delivered via email in PDF and Excel formats
  • Structured and easy to review
  • Archived securely for future access

Optional Add-Ons

For larger clients or multi-location sales, we also offer:

  • Bidder registration and activity summaries
  • Payment ledger by method and date
  • Tax exemption or export documentation
  • Buyer satisfaction feedback (on request)

Final Thoughts

Your auction isn’t truly complete until the numbers are clear. Our goal is to make post-auction reconciliation smooth, fast, and fully transparent. We believe in full accountability — and that means giving you every detail, on time, every time.
