Political Financing Filing Service
WHAT
CPAET’s Political Financing Filing service supports candidates and other political entities that are required to submit financial returns but do not meet the audit threshold under applicable election laws.
WHEN
The client is responsible for submitting a complete and accurate financial return. The priority is compliance, accuracy, and meeting statutory deadlines. If audit requirements are uncertain during the campaign period, CPAET helps clients prepare properly so the correct service can be determined after the election.
HOW
1. Pre-Election Consultation; 2. Engagement Confirmation; 3. Preparation Package; 4. Document Submission & Review; 5. Finalization & Submission. The finalized return is completed in advance of the filing deadline, allowing sufficient time for review and confirmation before submission.
HOW MUCH
CPAET’s fees for political financing services are structured based on contribution and activity ranges, as well as the complexity and regulatory requirements applicable to each engagement.
Political Financing Filing services start from $300, with final pricing determined by the volume of transactions and reporting requirements.
