As campaign finance takes center stage for the 2016 elections, the Center for Political Accountability has launched a new website to serve as the “go-to” place to track corporate political spending.
The one-stop resource for corporate political spending information in the 2016 elections will be available at www.politicalaccountability.net. It includes information available for the first time on company political payments to leading U.S. trade associations and company policies on contributions to 501(c)(4) “dark money” organizations. It has links to publicly reported company political spending (thanks to Open Secrets, from The Center for Responsive Politics, and Follow the Money, from the National Institute on Money in State Politics).

In early October, findings of the 2015 CPA-Zicklin Index of Political Disclosure and Accountability will be added to the database. The 2015 Index will cover the entire S&P 500 for the first time. The annual Index is the only benchmark of companies for their political disclosure and accountability policies and practices.
