Clarifying an Expenditure

From time to time, your depository bank may not be able to provide all of the information about an expenditure from your depository campaign account.  For example, if a check image is illegible or a field on the check is left blank, your bank will report the expenditure with the notation "No information provided" in one or more fields.  If an expenditure is reported with incomplete information, OCPF will contact you and ask you to provide the missing information using the Expenditure Clarification feature of Web Reporter.

To clarify an expenditure: Log in to Web Reporter and select the Clarify An Expenditure option from the navigation menu. Web Reporter will display a Filed Bank Reports list of the bank's reports of your account.  The list is grouped by year, in descending order, and the reports for that year are displayed in chronological order, newest to oldest. Click on the Clarify button next to the bank report indicated in your clarification request from OCPF. The bank report selected will be displayed on the screen with all of the expenditures for this reporting period listed below the summary balance information. If the clarification applies to a single expenditure, i.e. a missing purpose, locate the expenditure in the list and click into the text box to the right of the amount field.  Fill in the missing information and click on the Update button at the bottom of the screen to file the clarification. If the clarification applies to the entire bank report, click on the link in the summary balance information section at the top of the screen.  A 1,000 character text field will open.  You can then add the requested information to the text field.  Click on the Update button at the bottom of the screen to file the clarification.
