The premise

AI can draft political-spending disclosures covering direct, indirect, and trade-association contributions in CPA-Zicklin format.

What AI does well here

Aggregate direct, 527, and trade-association contributions into a single table.
Draft narrative explaining the values-alignment review process.

Political-spending disclosure

Draft a CPA-Zicklin-aligned political-spending disclosure section for the proxy. Include: direct contributions table, 527 and 501(c)(4) contributions, trade-association dues with non-deductible portion, and a values-alignment review-process narrative.

Check-in 1. Got it so far?

What AI cannot do

Decide whether contributions align with stated company values.
Replace board oversight committee review.

Trade dues hide the real spend

Trade-association dues often fund political activity invisible to the company. Disclosures must show non-deductible portions to be credible.
