#1 My goodness...all that transparency could become a habit,or even an expectation, if they aren't careful.

#3 Hey, ya know, I could go down and show them some neat tricks on how to make accounting errors in their favor. But they could probably teach me a few things in that regard. This is not transparency, but carfully crafted deceit. I can SAY anything about where the money goes, but where the checks are actually being delivered is another story. False front companies, anyone?

#5 true, Jame, but knowing how much came in does increase transparency. All donors will want to see their names and amounts given on the list. If they really intend to do that, it forces the thiefs to launder it with overcharges, false purchases etc., rather than just steal it, making it that much harder and leaving a better money trail for gross theft.
