Subject New Hampshire Republican State Committee Audit 

Dear Ms. Thomas, 

As counsel to the New Hampshire Republican State Committee ("NHRSC**), I write to inform 

you that, with the help of Dave Mason and his team at Aristotle, we have filed amended reports 

for the NHRSC covering the entire 2007-2008 election cycle in response to the Audit Division*s 

Interim Audit Report ("lAR**). The amendments take into account the findings set forth in the 

lAR and comply with the Audit Division's recommendations. Specifically, the amendments: 

adjust beginning cash on hand as recommended; add missing receipts, transfers, and 

disbursements provided on spreadsheets accompanying the lAR; adjust transaction amounts as 

recommended on the spreadsheets; make adjustments for unexplained differences as itemized on 

the spreadsheets or as otherwise necessary; correct debt schedules as recommended; and, report 

ending cash consistent with the lAR finding. 

It should be noted that in the course of preparing NHRSC*s 2007-2008 amended reports, we 

uncovered several mistakes in the lAR in an amount totaling dmost $20,000. This includes: (1) 

$7,100 of non-federal to federal transfers noted in the Audit Division* s spreadsheet as unreported 

receipt errors that were originally included and reported accurately; (2) Approximately $10,000 

in contributions that the auditors listed as reported without deposits when, in fact, they were 

actually never reported; and, (3) a check for $1,500 for rent in NHRSC*s February 2007 report 

that was listed by the auditors as an unreported disbursement that was actually reported. 

We appreciate your assistance in answering questions and providing documentation to us 

throughout this process. If you have any questions about NHRSC*s amended reports and our 

response to the lAR, please feel free to contact me directly. 

Sincerely, 

- Charlie
