Publicly Financed Committee Audit Reports
The Commission audits every political committee established by a candidate who received public funds. The audit determines whether the committee used the public funds in accordance with federal law and whether the committee otherwise complied with the contribution limitation, prohibition and disclosure requirements of the election law.
Previously, the Commission was required to audit publicly funded national conventions. However, 2014 legislation terminated public funding for the national conventions of any major or minor party. Given this, such committees were last audited in the 2012 election cycle, when they last received public funding.
