The CFB conducts a variety of training sessions to help campaigns comply with the rules, disclose their financial activity via C-SMART, and navigate the audit process.
The Candidate Services Unit is conducting all trainings virtually and will send invitations by email to registered attendees before each scheduled session below.
Training Requirement
Per Admin. Code §3-703(15) and Board Rule 2-06, your campaign’s candidate, treasurer, or campaign manager must attend a Compliance and a C-SMART training by the final day of the 32 day pre-primary disclosure period. Refer to the Disclosure Deadlines page for specific deadlines by election cycle.
As best practice, we highly recommend that any campaign staff assisting with compliance matters and data entry attend CFB trainings.
To be eligible to receive any public funds payment, the candidate, treasurer, or campaign manager must complete a Compliance and C-SMART training at least 15 business days before the payment date.
Register for a Training
Training registrations close at 11:59 pm the day before the training date. If you have any questions or need to reschedule any training, please email Trainings@nyccfb.info.
American Sign Language interpretation and live captioning services are available for our trainings with advance notice. Please make accessibility requests by emailing Trainings@nyccfb.info or calling (212) 409-1800 at least five business days in advance of the training you would like to attend. All requests will be accommodated to the extent possible.
Training dates and times are subject to change at the discretion of the Candidate Services Unit. If a training is rescheduled or canceled, you will be notified by email.
Please note: The Candidate Services Unit trainings are currently on pause and will resume in fall of 2023. Check back here for an updated training schedule soon.
