I have seen some discussion on this but I have not seen a consensus

issues on finances and reserves still need more discussion.
SO I have not made a change yet.
I know we DO want something about GAAP in the document,
that seems pretty clear.
We don't, really. GAAP is a legal obligation that ISOC already respects,
so it's redundant to specify it. But the reference to a separate P&L and
balance sheet is useful, I think.

Subject: BCP-02: Financial statements and Audits
Section 5.1
"For bookkeeping purposes, funds managed by IASA should be
accounted for
in a separate set of accounts which can be rolled-up
periodically to the
equivalent of a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement for IASA
alone after taking into account the effect of common items paid for or
received by ISOC as a whole."
I think we want to specify what financial statements are
produced in more
detail, and how an audit may be triggered.
Suggest this be changed to:
"For accounting purposes, funds managed by IASA should be
accounted for in
a separate set of accounts, in order to allow the general of separate
financial statements for IASA, after taking into account the
allocation of
common items paid for or received by ISOC. The allocation of
these common
items shall be agreed upon between the ISOC and the IAOC as
part of the
budget process.
Financial statements to be produced for IASA include (but are
not limited
to) an Income (Profit/Loss) Statement, Balance Sheet and
Statement of Cash
Flows, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Pinciples (GAAP).
Should the IAOC not be satisified with these financial statements, the
IAOC shall have the right to request that the ISOC conduct an audit."
