Compliance Notes are useful for providing additional context on transactions. This field isn’t required when entering transactions, but we recommend entering a Compliance Note for every Expense you enter into ISP. This is to prevent your agency from asking any questions about what that money was spent on.
If a particular transaction has a Support/Oppose Memo, we will pull the Compliance Note from the S/O Memo onto the compliance report. If there is no Compliance Note on the S/O Memo, we pull the Compliance Note from the parent transaction. If you’d prefer the Compliance Note on the parent transaction to pull to the report, delete the Compliance Note you have on the S/O Memo.
There is a 100-character limit on Compliance Notes per transaction. If a Compliance Note contains more than 100 characters, an additional TEXT entry for the transaction will be created on FEC reports.
