Auditing
Money Isn’t Everything. Really.
By Anthony Shaut
Director of Royalty Audits
Spielman Koenigsberg & Parker, LLP
While one of our goals, as auditors, is
always to ensure that net sales are accurately reported and royalties are paid in full,
it is certainly not our only goal. Typically, at
the point where a licensor engages us to
conduct an audit, the intellectual property
is already well established.
It is our job, then, to make sure that brand
image is maintained and protected by ensuring compliance with all of the terms of
the license agreement. An effective audit
process encompasses far more than counting beans.
Counterfeits and knockoffs
Of the many problems that licensors and
licensees face, counterfeit and knock-off
merchandise is always near the top of the
list. A consumer finds a product normally
priced at $29.99 in stores for $14.99 on a
rogue website. That consumer purchases
the product and, after only weeks of wearing it or playing with it, wants to know why
the brim of the hat is already fraying, why
the action figures’ arm just fell off, or why
the color of the shirt has begun to fade after only two washes. The answer – it’s a
fake and, therefore, doesn’t live up to the
quality control standards that the brand has
established.
It’s to address situations like this that
holographic security labels are created and
adhered to all authentic licensed products,
and it’s why we, as auditors, place such
an emphasis on hologram testing, among
other procedures.
Whether it be doing a walkthrough of
the process by which holograms are adhered to each licensed product that gets
shipped, viewing ready-for-sale products in
the warehouse to ensure that all of them
“An effective audit process
encompasses far more than
counting beans. ”

Katzenberg C O N T I NUED FROM PAGE 1
In 1994, along with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, Katzenberg co-founded DreamWorks SKG, which produced a number of celebrated films, including three Best Picture
Academy Award® winners – American Beauty, Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind. In 2004,
DreamWorks Animation became a publicly-traded company with Katzenberg at the helm.
Under Katzenberg’s leadership, DreamWorks Animation has become the largest animation studio in the world and has released 27 animated feature films, which have enjoyed
both critical and commercial successes, earning nine Academy Award® nominations and
two wins for Best Animated Feature. In addition to critical success, DreamWorks Animation has been recognized as one of the “100 Best Companies to Work For” by FORTUNE®
Magazine for five consecutive years. In 2013, DreamWorks Animation ranked #12 on the
list.
Prior to co-founding DreamWorks, Katzenberg served as Chairman of The Walt Disney
Studios. During his tenure, the studio produced such landmark animated films as Who
Framed Roger Rabbit, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast
– the first animated film to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar® – as well as live action
hits, including Good Morning, Vietnam; Three Men and a Baby; Dead Poets Society; Pretty
Woman; Father of the Bride and Sister Act. Katzenberg previously served as President of
Paramount Studios, where he was involved in now-classic films including Raiders of the
Lost Ark, Saturday Night Fever, Grease and Best Picture Academy Award® winners Ordinary People and Terms of Endearment.
In 2013, Katzenberg was awarded the prestigious Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award
by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for his outstanding contributions to
humanitarian causes.
With his wife Marilyn, Katzenberg supports and leads fundraising efforts for a wide
range of national and international organizations focused on supporting healthcare, education, the arts, Jewish causes, children, civic improvement, and the environment. Among
his philanthropic endeavors, Katzenberg is Chairman of the Board for the Motion Picture &
Television Fund Foundation and Director of Zynga Inc.
He sits on the Board or serves as a Trustee for AIDS Project Los Angeles, American
Museum of the Moving Image, California Institute of the Arts, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Geffen Playhouse, Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, University of
Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, and The Simon Wiesenthal Center. Katzenberg also supports the Elton John AIDS Foundation and Boston University, and with
DreamWorks Animation, he founded the DreamWorks Animation Academy of Inner-City
Arts in 2008.
“Jeffrey Katzenberg will
provide attendees with his
valuable insights into the
future of the media and
entertainment industries and
the licensing business that is
sure to resonate, during the
upcoming show and beyond.”

contain a hologram, or comparing hologram
inventory records to sales records, these
anti-counterfeiting measures will only be
effective if the licensee abides by them.
It should be an auditors job to help ensure
that they do.
In addition to preventing cheap imitation
products from flooding the market, preventing low-quality authentic products from
entering the market can also be a concern.
Although most licensors require a thorough
approval process with samples and prototypes submitted for review prior to being
produced, there is still a reliance on the licensees’ factories to manufacture product
for the mass market of the same quality as
the samples.
Detecting unauthorized factories
The heavy reliance on factories is traditionally conveyed in third-party manufacturing agreements that are required by the
license agreement. Again, it is our job as
auditors to ensure that no unauthorized factories are used to manufacture product.
Processes such as reconciling inventory
movements, reviewing purchase orders,
and comparing those purchase orders to
authorized factories are just a few of the
tests that we conduct to help identify and
prevent the use of unauthorized factories.
Once a level of comfort has been gained
regarding both the authenticity and quality
of products going out the door, the next goal
is to ensure that these products are distributed in the manner that they were intended
and within the territory they were intended.
After all, spending all that manpower en-
suring a quality product is delivered to the
market won’t do much good if, for example,
that product is being dumped at close-out
and off-price retailers or to territories not
included in the license agreement.
A thorough review of customer lists and
sales invoices as well as research into unfamiliar customers goes a long way in preventing excess off-price sales, identifying
sales to distributors that may be made at
lower price points, and locating sales made
outside the licensed territory that may
breach rights granted to other licensees.
This article only touches upon the tip of
the iceberg for compliance issues and brand
protection that an audit can provide. Even
within the topics discussed above, there
are a number of other methods that auditors can use to help prevent counterfeiting,
to ensure the utmost quality of authentic
products are released into the market, and
to enforce the distribution and territory restrictions upon which a license agreement
is based. Not to mention product labeling,
insurance requirements, advertising minimums, etc., all important clauses of a license agreement that have been added in
there for a reason.
Just remember that without the full
scope of an audit to ensure the completeness of information that is provided by a licensee, a brand manager can never be sure
that the full picture is being presented to
them. And even though it’s often perceived
that an audit is only about net sales and
royalties, a good auditor can paint that full
picture for you.
“Licensors sometimes think
licensees are lucky to make
anything off their brands. But
partners value and reward
each other for mutual investments. Starbucks might have
saved itself a billion dollars if
it had done so in this case.”

Licensing Career Stories
Dan Amos
Head of New Media
Tinderbox, division of Beanstalk Group
What were the career moves that brought you to the licensing business?
I’ve always known I wanted to be in the licensing business…I’m clearly kidding! Imagine
meeting the one person (and I’m sure there is only one) that says that.
Like everyone in our industry I started out on a completely different trajectory, oblivious
to the licensing world. I trained to be an illustrator, specifically comics/graphic novels and
I’m fortunate to remain close friends with some of the most talented artists I’ve ever met.
Seeing their work also reminds me that I absolutely couldn’t compete with them!
It was during my university years studying illustration that I began working for a small UK
based company that produced collectible framed products, a number of which were under
license. Being into comics, I gravitated to the Marvel licenses they held, slowly integrating
into product design. This meant I eventually became the style guide guy, learning the
brands we licensed inside out and developing products for approval. This was my first taste
of licensing and led to creating roles that allowed me to acquire licenses on behalf of the
company and attend Brand License Europe.
Working with licensing agencies in the role I had carved out for myself made me consider
making the jump from licensee to licensor. I was eager to experience the other side of the
discussions I was having. My search led me to Beanstalk, global licensing agency; their
portfolio of clients was (and still is!) significant including Jack Daniels, Land Rover and
Stanley Black & Decker.
Starting out in the world of toys and collectibles for automotive clients was a departure
from product design and my love of comics but it was the kick start to my career in licensing
that I was looking for. Throughout my seven years at Beanstalk, I’ve had the opportunity
to develop and lead varied and innovative licensing programs; writing this has made me
realize just how much I’ve worked on, an incredible ride!
Today I’m head up Tinderbox, a division within Beanstalk dedicated to digital
entertainment properties, New Media. I’m passionate about the current disruption of the
entertainment space by New Media; there is a clear evolution of entertainment and with
Tinderbox I aim to be at the forefront.
What’s a “typical” day in your current position?
My days are becoming less and less typical; this is what I love about agency life and
about building something like Tinderbox. I enjoy taking an active role in all areas of our
business and whilst I head the division, I make a point of working alongside all members of
the team in sales, management, finance and legal. However the area I have a passion for
and take a very active role in is the sourcing of new and exciting properties for our agency.
This means scouring the AppStore counts as work! I find that social media is becoming
an incredibly valuable tool in identifying opportunities at the earliest point; My morning
commute is put to good use checking in with all of the blogs I consider key before I settle
in to licensee and client management.
We have a great existing portfolio including titles such as Doodle Jump, MovieStarPlanet
and My Singing Monsters. The extensive research the team has already put in will lead to
some very exciting properties joining our existing roster shortly.

“To call digital or New Media
brands a trend in licensing is
doing it a disservice; this is
an evolution of entertainment
and this understanding is
slowly filtering down into the
licensing industry. “

Licensing Career Stories CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6
UPCOMING TRADE EVENTS
What’s the most challenging aspect of your job? How do you address that challenge?
New Media is constantly developing, meaning you no longer simply pitch a brand but
you may need to also educate your prospect on the digital entertainment space at the same
time. New Media is transforming entertainment, the space has been forever disrupted, TV
viewing is down and digital media consumption is up. To call digital or New Media brands
a trend in licensing is doing it a disservice; this is an evolution of entertainment and this
understanding is slowly filtering down into the licensing industry.
I actually enjoy sharing with prospects New Media’s significance within the entertainment
space, there are some incredible statistics out there reinforcing what Tinderbox believes
in. One of my favorites is that in 2011, 2 percent of children under the age of two had used
a mobile device – in 2013, that figure had increased to a staggering 38 percent.* When we
realise how children are engaging with brands today through statistics like this you can
appreciate the importance of understanding New Media. It’s a challenge to be championing
something that’s early but I’d rather be at the forefront than thinking ‘if only…’
What’s your favorite part of your job?
I genuinely love what I do; there’s no one thing that gets me up in the morning. But if
you’re asking me to narrow it down, I can get to three.
Firstly, its meeting people. The licensing industry is built on relationships and developing
credible partnerships. I’m always keen to meet anyone who has even a minor interest in
what I do. You never know how you will reconnect with these people in the future. The
industry is a hugely positive and entrepreneurial place with so many different opportunities
to make amazing things happen; the only way to do that is to connect with as many great
people as you can.
Secondly, seeing product in the hands of fans. Especially in the gaming space, there is
a hunger from fans to own a piece of their digital world physically. It’s a special moment
to see people clamoring to get their hands on something you helped envision, develop and
launch.
Finally, and most importantly my son thinks I’m a superhero. Because I have the
opportunity to meet with the people behind some of the games he is obsessed with, to him
this is the greatest thing in the world (and it is pretty awesome). He spurs me on to deliver
the product he’d want for the brands he loves. It’s a pressure I’m happy to have. However
he doesn’t realize he’s my secret weapon, he’s truly of the New Media generation, tablet
owning and techno-savvy. He picks up brands quicker than I can seek them out, I learn a
lot from him and now more than ever should we be paying attention to the brands our kids
are engaging with.
What are the most significant trends or changes that you’ve seen in the business in
recent years?
As I mentioned, we are in the midst of an entertainment evolution, the way people are
consuming media is changing almost daily. Traditional media consumption is decreasing,
TV is trending flat, digital media consumption is up. The digital trend that everyone was
talking about 12-18 months ago has passed; digital or rather New Media is here now,
disrupting entertainment. I foresee many more brands coming from the New Media space
embedding into pop culture.

Licensing Career Stories CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7
What are the biggest challenges facing the licensing business in the next three years?
Manufacturing will continue to face the challenge of keeping up with the pace at which
New Media brands explode onto the market. New Media properties can develop at the
speed of light; able to gather a following of millions in a fraction of the time a traditional
entertainment brand takes. Therefore reacting to this almost instant demand for product is
always going to be a difficult.
However I think technologies like 3D printing and their application within the licensing
industry is something to watch in addition to products within the on-demand space. There
are so many ways in which a consumer can now purchase including social commerce,
mobile commerce, even TV commerce, selecting the items on screen whilst watching your
TV show. Manufacturing processes that can integrate themselves successfully into these
areas will see the benefit.
What advice would you give to students or young professionals wanting to pursue a
career in licensing?
My first big leap was going to Licensing Expo; I’d encourage anyone interested to do the
same and experience it first-hand. There are excellent seminars to attend and gain valuable
knowledge. But don’t just listen -- participate, ask questions. Licensing shows are also an
excellent chance to network and meet people from the industry, take full advantage of it!
Any advice for mid-career professionals looking to expand their competencies?
I think this is a great time to develop in new areas regardless of what stage you are at in
your career. New Media has leveled the playing field with newly developed brands going
head to head with decades old franchises. Take in every learning you can from where you
are now but keep a close eye on how the landscape is changing for the future. Trends are
emerging at a frightening pace and having a clear understanding of today’s new consumer
habits will put you ahead.
