Audit and Investigation Defense

Practice Areas

It's not just the FCC: Regulators seeking to enforce may surprise you 

Telecom service providers tend to focus on FCC enforcement, but this highly regulated industry comes with a host of federal, state, and local agencies scrutinizing your every move, including the FTC, USAC, public utilities commissions, states attorneys general, and even the Office of the Inspector General or the Department of Justice. 

We represent clients in audits and investigations relating to consumer protection, data privacy, tax over and under collection, and USF violations. We understand the enforcement process inside and out, and have a reputation of successful navigation of the audit process for our clients. 

The types of audit and investigations we have managed include:

  • FCC Enforcement Bureau and USF "Strike Force" carrier compliance investigations 
  • USF under-collection and non-payment audits
  • TCPA compliance audits regarding network robocall traffic
  • Outage reporting audits
  • USF Lifeline and Payment Quality Assurance program audits
  • State PUC investigations of broadband infrastructure requirements
  • State AG investigations into consumer protection matters
