NZ Film Commission - Screen Production Grants:

Providing assurance on Screen Production Grant applications

A thorough understanding of the relevant Screen Production Grant is vital to maximise your claim. Applications must be prepared to a high standard and in accordance with the letter and intent of the criteria. We have successfully assisted several productions in this.

Services we can provide

  • We could discuss with you and provide direction on which Screen Production Grant you qualify under.
  • Next we can examine the expenses that you claimed as qualifying expenditure and assess these against the Qualifying New Zealand Production Expenses criteria. We could help build your understanding of the criteria and answer your questions on the tricky areas.
  • As one of the NZ Film Commission’s approved auditors we can also provide the independent assurance required to support your final application for a Screen Production Grant.
