					 value of any item, whether solicited or unsolicited, the recipient shall either
					 return the item or reimburse the donor within thirty days. If a lobbyist
					 financial report is due prior to thirty days and the recipient does not want to
					 be reported, as required by section 1-96(b) or (e) of the Connecticut General
					 Statutes, the reimbursement or return shall be done prior to the filing of the

					 any documents regarding unregulated activity available to the Office of State
					 Ethics in connection with an audit conducted under section 1-96a(b) of the
					 Connecticut General Statutes, except that if a registrant chooses to keep
					 records which ordinarily and customarily integrate both regulated and

					 audit. However, in no case shall the Office of State Ethics or its staff
					 intentionally divulge to any third party any material regarding unregulated
					 activities revealed in connection with the audit.
(b) For purposes of substantiating financial
					 reports concerning lobbying activities on and after October 1,1991, each
					 registrant shall obtain and preserve all documents which will provide in
					 sufficient detail the necessary information from which the financial reports
					 may be verified, explained, clarified and checked for accuracy and
					 completeness. In the case of reportable expenditures unrelated to lobbying made
					 by a registrant for the benefit of public officials, the registrant shall make
					 available for inspection only the specific documentation necessary to verify
					 the expenditure.
(c) The registrant
					 shall keep the records available for audit, inspection and copying by the
					 Office of State Ethics or its authorized representatives for three years from
					 the date of filing of the report or of changes or corrections to the

					 if the ceremony is to take place during the legislative session, such notice
					 shall be published in the Legislative Bulletin or other similar publication
					 disseminated to registrants. For the purposes of the selection process, each
					 client registrant will be assigned a number. No more than forty numbers will be
					 selected for audit in any one year and each number selected will result in an
					 audit. Audits will be conducted in the order selected. Numbers for audit will
					 be drawn by the Chairperson of the Citizen's Ethics Advisory Board or by his or
					 her designee. When a client registrant's number is chosen for audit, the
					 records of that client's communicator lobbyists, including all business
					 organization, in-house or other individual lobbyists, kept in connection with
					 that client will also be audited. Said communicator lobbyist(s)' records of
					 personal expenditures for the benefit of public officials, or members of such

Current through July 10, 2024

					 primary goal of any audit by the Office of State Ethics is to ensure compliance
					 with the Codes of Ethics. To that end, the Office of State Ethics will take no
					 formal action, as the result of an audit, against a registrant for negligent
					 failure to comply with the law, provided that the registrant takes the
					 necessary corrective action. When a review of a registrant's records reveals an
					 intentional or grossly negligent failure to comply with the law, however, or
					 when the registrant fails to take the corrective action required as a result of
					 the audit, the Office of State Ethics may file a complaint pursuant to section
					 1-93 of the Connecticut General Statutes. Any Office of State Ethics
					 evaluation, investigation or complaint proceeding initiated as the result of an
					 audit shall not be made a part of the final audit report, but shall instead
					 remain confidential under section 1-93(a) of the Connecticut General
					 Statutes.
(b) Notwithstanding
					 subsection (a) of this section, the fact that a registrant may be under audit
					 shall not relieve the registrant from liability if a separate action is filed
					 or pending against the registrant with respect to the registrant's conduct
					 during the audit period.
