VERIFICATION OF DISTRIBUTION, PRINTING AND INTERNAL RECORDS: Verification of distribution is conducted by appropriate survey methodology(s). Free home delivery is verified by telephone interviews with households within the publication's delivery areas. Target (free rack) distribution is confirmed by field verification of the number of copies distributed and the number of copies remaining at the close of the distribution period. An audit of internal records is conducted by a professional circulation auditor in conformity with accepted circulation auditing procedures, prior to Verified's issuance of an initial audit report and annually thereafter. This audit of internal records includes a review of source printing, distribution and subscription records as well as supporting financial documents.
