Be prepared for a Post Campaign Audit

During a political campaign, money moves quickly and things can get complicated. When Michael Cohen pled guilty to eight criminal charges, including two campaign finance violations, he admitted to knowing his actions had been unlawful. But even candidates as respected as Barack Obama and John McCain have been hit with hefty fines, ugly headlines, and public suspicion for innocent campaign finance mistakes made during their runs for office.
 
The post-campaign audit process causes night sweats for even the most experienced. It is neither simple nor straight forward. Comprehending the volume, nature and nuances of the rules and restrictions require special training. And still, the legitimacy of some spending remains open to interpretation.
 
To ameliorate the challenges posed by the post-campaign audit, many leading campaigns are eliminating cash and using PEX to be more transparent and more compliant.
