Royalty Statements
We prepare correct and intelligible royalty statements, based on your license agreements, and issue them in your behalf. If required, we can use your letterhead and stationary, effectively appearing as a department of your company.
Royalty statements are generated using our proprietary software which can be customized to your requirements.
Not only do we issue and mail all statements, we also serve as first of contact for your business partners in case of questions. With every statement comes an overview of outgoing amounts that clearly shows all payments made on your behalf. These overviews are also suitable for tax purposes.
Controlling
MACC ensures complete, accurate and confidential monitoring of incoming statements from your domestic and international contract partners.
Without an international standard for royalty statements, the process of maintaining accurate client information as well as the detailed examination of many different forms of statements are a complex matter: It requires experience in a wide range of fields, a thorough attention to detail and discrete handling of our client data.
Review of Royalty Statements
The fact that inaccurate royalty statements mean financial losses for our clients is always at the forefront of our minds. Such inaccuracies are not easily detected, and often it takes a lot of experience and professional knowledge to spot what exactly has gone wrong. In such cases we will clear up the misunderstanding with the other party.
MACC has a proven track record of success in this area which has attracted a steadily growing client base.
We are also happy to review your distribution accounting, your tour accounts and neighbouring rights payments. We check for plausibility, contract conformity and overall accuracy. Our services target all audio sales, including internet downloads.
