Through the acquisition of Summit Entertainment, LLC by Lions Gate Films Inc. in January 2012, I moved from my audit position at Summit into the Participations and Residuals department at Lions Gate where I have worked on a number of projects including three external audits – payroll compliance for the Director’s Guild of America; expense audit for the Tri-Guilds; participants audit for Goldcrest; as well as two other internal audits. Began preparing and reviewing “reporting statements” for participants’ residual monies due – monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually – for a multitude of titles and companies. I am currently handling all "Sales Agency" titles and reporting fees due for libraries and titles for both Lions Gate as well as Summit Entertainment.
