Methods, systems, and computer program products for auditing a transaction involving a sale by one business entity of a ticket for a travel product provided by another business entity. An audit module receives a pricing context of the transaction and determines an audit amount therefrom. The audit amount is compared to a price charged for the transaction to determine if an agency debit memo should be generated. If the pricing context for the transaction is not available and a ticketing office that issued the ticket is flagged for enhanced auditing, the audit module may determine one or more pricing context parameters by determining prices for a plurality of combinations of pricing context parameters. These prices may be compared to the price charged for the transaction, and the combination of pricing context parameters having a matching price may be selected. The pricing context parameters may then be used to generate audit related documents.
