Media and Entertainment

Australia has a burgeoning media and entertainment industry, with our music sector alone being the 10th largest in the world. The market has seen a clear digital evolution. Changes in the character of contracts, from record deals to content creation with multiple revenue streams and licensing agreements are just a few.

This major shift from “product” to “content” has complicated the accounting landscape, with income now originating from various sources across multiple short and long-term contractual arrangements for artists and content creators.
