This Audit Report summarizes the audit results of the committee, Richmond Neighbors for Tuchow for Supervisor 2004, Identification Number 1264412 (“the Committee”), from

For the period covered by the audit, the Committee received $59,943 in contributions and $41,067 in public funds, and incurred expenditures of $96,921.  The CFRO provides that any candidate who receives public funds must return unexpended campaign funds to the Election Campaign Fund.  The Commission has determined that the Committee had unexpended funds of $1,342.[2]

The Commission has determined that there were no material findings with respect to the audit of the Committee.   The Committee substantially complied with the disclosure and record-keeping provisions of the Act and CFRO.
