Royalty audit support to help artists, producers, songwriters, publishers, and rights-holders validate royalty statements, identify underpayments, and improve ongoing reporting accuracy.
MUSIC ROYALTY AUDITS WITH ROSZAK & ASSOCIATES
Royalty statements are complex, and errors are common—especially across multiple income streams like streaming, mechanicals, performance, sync, neighboring rights, and direct licensing. Our music royalty audit services help you verify what you were paid, understand how it was calculated, and build a clear path forward when discrepancies appear.
We align statements, rate cards, and payment terms to confirm whether calculations match what your agreements actually require—so you can separate normal variance from real issues.
We reconcile reported units, revenue, deductions, and fees across platforms and periods to surface gaps, anomalies, and missing lines that may never show up in a single statement view.
We produce clear, structured findings and supporting documentation that helps you pursue corrections and strengthen future reporting—without relying on vague explanations or incomplete summaries.
MUSIC ROYALTY AUDITS & RIGHTS MANAGEMENT
A royalty audit is most effective when it connects the dots across your catalog, agreements, collection sources, and payment pathways. We help rights-holders build a cleaner system for tracking income, identifying leakage, and reducing surprises in future statements.
Your questions answered
Any artist or rights-holder with multiple revenue streams, a growing catalog, new licensing activity, or inconsistent statement trends. Audits are also common after label/distributor changes, catalog acquisitions, or when earnings don’t align with performance.
We can review statement reporting across streaming and downloads, mechanical income, performance income, sync/license activity, neighboring rights, and other catalog-related revenue—based on what sources you have and what your agreements require.
Contracts are ideal because they define rates, splits, deductions, and reporting obligations. If you don’t have everything, we can still start with statements and supporting records, then identify what agreements or terms are missing.
Typically: royalty statements (all periods available), deal memos/contracts (if available), catalog/song lists, split sheets, distribution and publishing admin details, PRO info, and any dashboards or sales/export reports you have access to.
It depends on the number of revenue sources, reporting periods, and how organized the records are. Smaller, single-source reviews can move quickly, while multi-year, multi-source reconciliations take longer due to data cleanup and cross-platform matching.
We document the issue clearly, quantify the impact where possible, and compile support so you can request corrections, pursue a statement adjustment, or escalate through the appropriate channel. We also recommend process changes to reduce repeat issues going forward.
Get audit support that brings structure to complex statements and helps you act confidently—whether you’re correcting past issues or tightening reporting going forward.
