Anna, I'd love to examine the more detailed monthly or quarterly financial reports that demonstrate your assurance, and can be both examined and understood by volunteers like us. Could you provide a link to them please? No doubt the WMF wrote transparency and accountability right into the contracts, so that being transparent and accountable is not considered a "waste of the strategy budget" but instead is an activity absolutely critical to its success.
