Create Contribution and Disbursement Spreadsheets for Your Report

Download the Contributions and Expenditures Templates using these links:

http://cfportal.sos.ms.gov/online/MSOSDisbursementsTemplate.xlsx

These templates are Excel spreadsheets designed for you to record your contribution and expenditure information and then upload the spreadsheet into the required Report. This is an alternate way of entering the data into the Campaign Finance system. It allows the user to record contributions and expenditures over a period of time and then when it is time to file a required report, you can upload the spreadsheets into the system.

Upload your Spreadsheets

When the spreadsheets are completed, log in here to begin uploading:

Saving Your Report

If you have started entering information on a report, you may click "Save Changes" at any time so you may save your work and access that report to complete and file at a later date. On the Required Filings screen, the status of this report will show "In Progress". When you are ready to work on the report again, you click the box next to the report and click on "Start/Resume/View Report" to open the report to continue entering information.

Preview Your Report Before Filing

The system will provide a "preview report" for you to review prior to submission. You may also print out the report; however, you cannot submit a "preview" report. If a "preview" report is filed to meet a deadline, it will not be compliant and therefore you may be subject to the imposition of a civil penalty.
