# Transparent Finances Open Source Dharma lineages that operate using financial account(s) may provide a transparent accounting of their financial activity publicly. This includes, at minimum, a detailed quarterly report on all money coming in and going out of their accounts. This increased financial transparency is meant to reduce fraud, and increase trust for students, teaching colleagues, and those working on the organizational side of the communities. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
