Perhaps I am misreading this, but doesn't:

"Millions and millions of dollars of error not in our favor."

mean they owed more than they thought?

If an audit is 'in my favor' that means you made a mistake and owe me more.

If the audit is 'not in my favor' then you made a mistake and I owe you more.

I'll add that this "Hollywood" accounting is also used in the music industry.



It was the error that wasn't in their favor, not the audit. It means they either already overpaid, (or themselves were underpaid).


The audit discovered errors on the part of the publisher that were not in their favor (and occurred prior to the audit).


If an audit is in your favor that means that it found an error that was not in your favor.
