I’m a school administrator. In my classes for licensure we were taught: what gets monitored, gets done. Sounds like the same principle. Yes, you want to afford adults the respect of trust, but it’s common sense to check in to be sure things are running smoothly. As a citizen, what I’m guilty of? Thinking that, “surely there is someone else who has done the monitoring.”

Thanks for the post. 👍🏼

Trust but verify. The mantra of every corporation that is successful. Audit and business controls are key weapons to counter fraud.

This is excellent advice. Suggest everyone use Chatgpt to review your town/city budget and other documents that you can get access to. Chatgpt has very good financial analysis tools. Typically you can just upload the documents and the system will take it from there.
