Royalty Audits. Trusted Expertise. Total Assurance.
We are expert specialists in music royalty audit.
If you are considering a royalty audit but are uncertain about where to begin, you are not alone. Engaging in this process can seem complex, but we are here to provide clarity. When you reach out to us, we take the time to gain a comprehensive understanding of your rights, the structure and management of your royalty streams, and the current flow of revenues. Based on this assessment, we will advise whether an audit is the appropriate course of action or if an alternative strategy may be more effective given your specific circumstances.
We represent a diverse range of music clients, from iconic artists with global audit rights to emerging talent and major music companies. Our audits span everything from traditional record and publishing deals to complex profit shares, 360 structures, licensing agreements, and distribution arrangements.
In our extensive experience, audits often reveal discrepancies ranging from unpaid royalties and misinterpreted agreements to accounting oversights that have gone undetected.
Ultimately, a royalty audit is not solely about uncovering errors; it is about instilling certainty that your rights are yielding the remuneration to which you are entitled.
