Yes -- but the yearly audit typically isn't focused on validating whether the restrictions described in this BCP are being carried out. If you're looking to certify the validity of the divisional accounting and the BCP restrictions, that would require additional work by the auditor.

The ISOC yearly audit is conducted by an independent auditing firm, not by ISOC. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
