Feasibility[edit]

Point 3 is a must. Points 1 and 2 don't seem feasible (or useful) for most associations. 4 and 6 if unconditional may be unlikely or have a severe impact on the functioning of the organisation. On the other hand, sending bank statements to two persons (i.e. president and treasurer) is easy and outsourcing financial books may be an easy win (perhaps only above 10 k€ budget or so). --Nemo 17:50, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Risk factors[edit]

I think it would be more useful to consider realistic risk factors and countermeasures for each of them. The section "Things to Watch Out For" doesn't seem to be representative for Wikimedia. I think the main risk factors are:

  1. keeping money in a personal account rather than in the account of an incorporated entity;
  2. an organisation whose administrators have a loose relationship receives money from outside.

Research namespace[edit]

Does this belong in the research namespace? It's listed as a research project in progress. Theo10011 (talk) 22:40, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
