Contract Compliance Services

KPMG's CCS professionals are experienced in serving a variety of our firms' clients in a wide range of industries in areas such as royalties, licensing, distribution agreements, advertising, digital content and more. As a result, we understand the complexities and nuances of a range of business contracts, processes and procedures and have been able to help companies recover revenue misstated in self-reporting statements while maintaining and improving relationships with their business partners. 

 

Our services are as follows:

  • Royalty Compliance — aims to recover fees, help strengthen licensing relationships and identify opportunities for mitigating risk.
  • Software End-User License Review — monitors license compliance for software vendors, leading to increased current and future licensing and maintenance revenue.
  • Vendor Contracts — advises on management of vendor relationships.
  • Ad Agency Contract Compliance — aims to identify significant cost recoveries or other improvement opportunities.
  • Reseller and Distributor Review — assists with the enforcement of contracts with channel partners.
  • Digital Distribution — assists digital content owners in assessing the completeness and accuracy of self-reporting of content distribution.
  • Software Asset management (SAM) — can include a review of people, process and technology areas against industry standards.
  • Intellectual Property (IP) Audit — assistance in assessing and optimizing processes of the IP governance throughout different stages of the IP lifecycle.
