Royalty Review Council

A royalty audit is typically an examination of the books and records of the licensee or distributor of intellectual property to determine if there were any payment miscalculations or underreporting of transactions related to the statements rendered and the royalties paid. The primary purpose of a royalty audit is to verify the payments and amounts otherwise payable by an authorized distributor in connection with the transactions of intellectual property, such as music, movies, TV programs, books and video games.
