Fantasy Sports operators may seek recognition of a certified public accountant, testing laboratory, or other professional service provider for use in completing the compliance audit by submitting a written request via email. Our office will review the qualifications and experience of the organization and determine whether to recognize that entity as an approved provider. Annual audit reports are due no later than the first day of the seventh month following the close of the fantasy sport’s operator’s fiscal year.
