# How Do I Audit Archera?

To verify Archera data, we recommend:

1. Create a Segment that aligns with an individual account you have access to on the AWS Console.
2. Collect summary cost data from the Archera Segment.
3. Validate the utilization costs against AWS Cost Explorer data.

AWS provides native cost-explorer dashboards that you can use to get an official view into how effectively Archera is managing your RIs and Savings Plans.

This is where you can find the utilization numbers for existing RIs and Savings Plans:

* Right Sizing RIs and Savings Plans in the AWS Console
* Cost Anomaly Detection reports

Please note that Archera calculates coverage differently in some cases from AWS — you can read more about this [here](/help-center/user-guide/commitment-coverage.md).
