Royalty audit defense checklist (PDF)
A printable PDF checklist covering everything a licensor audit firm typically requests — rate-card version history, recompute history, original statement versions, per-period sales reconciliation, deduction support, and advance amortization history.
Free for brand, retailer, wholesaler and manufacturer teams. We email the link to your work address; requests from companies we can’t verify are reviewed first.
To check a request we may look at your company’s public website, sometimes with the help of an AI research assistant. Only your company name and web domain are used for that, never your name or email.
