Should the auditor decide to select a sample of accounts to verify request, the request must contain the following:
- List of distribution locations
- Days of delivery (Mon, Tues, Wed, etc.)
- Quantity of newspapers for each day of the week
- Business name and address
- Printed name, title and contact information of the requestor
- Signature and date of the requestor
For guidance on the qualification requirements for verified retail/business, please refer to the Verified Circulation Guide.
