Are members entitled to any external audit reports or independent evaluations, and how are these reports shared?

Access to external audit reports is about transparency in financial oversight and showing members how funds are managed. If the organization has a policy that allows or requires sharing audit reports with members, those reports should be provided to members and/or made available through official channels in accordance with that policy. This recognizes that members have a legitimate interest in the results of independent evaluations and that sharing is governed by internal procedures rather than ad hoc decisions. Stating that members never receive audit reports conflicts with accountability expectations. Limiting access only to the treasurer narrows who can review important information and undermines transparency. Publicly posting audit reports on social media can bypass proper reporting channels and may expose sensitive details, which is not standard practice.
