Royalty Audits
Evolving platforms and laws don’t have to leave you at a loss. Get every dollar you deserve for what you create.
YOUR CHALLENGES
Licensing, streaming, YouTube, sales — royalties are infinitely layered, with copyright laws lagging behind. Where does that leave your royalties? Unpaid? Underpaid? “In suspense,” falling off the books?
We estimate that 90% of self-reporting on royalties by record labels, publishers, studios and motion picture companies is inaccurate. Trust a royalty audit expert to orchestrate a complete audit of third-party royalty data to recover the royalties you deserve and enhance your future negotiating power.
You benefit from a proven audit methodology that analyzes third-party records to recover money and other valuable benefits while also protecting your business relationships.
Our Certified Public Accountants and data analysts compare your total sales, revenue, expenses and profit data provided by you, your publisher, studio or label against data reported from independent sources that track industry sales.
Close scrutiny of the often overlooked “recoupable” expenses charged against your royalty earnings (such as advanced payments, video production costs and marketing expenses) delivers additional results. This deeper dive into royalty data and contracts typically yields 10% to 30% or more in recovered royalties.
