Campaign Reporting
Olson, Hagel & Fishburn, LLP assists a wide range of clients -- including candidates, PACs and ballot measure committees -- in complying with complex campaign reporting prohibitions and requirements under federal, state and local laws.
The law firm provides a unique combination of legal and campaign reporting services to assure compliance with rigid reporting procedures of state and federal laws, including the California Political Reform Act of 1974 and the Federal Election Campaign Act. Required reports are subject to review by the Fair Political Practices Commission and the Federal Election Commission.
Our sophisticated state-of-the-art computerized campaign reporting system has been approved by the California Secretary of State for the required electronic filing of campaign reports under state laws. Ours was the very first such approval received by anyone providing these types of services.
The campaign reporting unit is staffed by a trained and experienced paralegal staff of report specialists. All of this is reviewed and overseen by the firm's team of experienced attorneys.
Our campaign reporting services include:
Receiving, depositing and recording all receipts and monitoring contributions for compliance with federal, state and local limits and prohibits.
Maintaining and disbursing campaign funds at the client's discretion.
Reconciling bank statements and providing clients with monthly financial statements.
Preparing and filing required campaign reports and providing the client with contributor lists.
