Compliance Requirements for Lobbyists and Lobbying Firms
CD/Transcript Package
Violating rules for recordkeeping under the new lobbying law is serious business. Yet so far, many lobbyists, lobbying firms and the groups who hire them have only scratched the surface of what's required.
Fact is, avoiding $200,000 fines and stiff criminal penalties takes an in-depth understanding of The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act (HLOGA.) But how can you be sure you've covered all the bases - from what new information must be recorded, to how the new law changes the relationship between IRS reporting and lobbying reports?
Here's where to start...
Get your copy of the audio CD/Transcript of this incredibly informative audioconference and get the right answers to crucial questions you MUST answer before January 1, 2008, including
- What do the new HLOGA reporting rules require?
- What specific information must be gathered to prepare and file the required reports--and how do requirements differ for firms and individual lobbyists?
- Who should maintain the records and certify and sign the reports?
