The simplest and most transparent accounting mechanism is proposed so that it does not require more than 1/2 hour of work per month:
- All money raised is categorized
 - All purchases are made via credit card or check and are annotated on an online account on an ongoing basis.
 - All receipts are saved.
 - The accounting is a monthly statement printout, which is also published on the wiki on a protected page for transparency.
 - Quarterly totals for money raised and money spent is tallied from 3 monthly statements in a straightforward manner.
 - Money in = money out.
 - All this is handed over to an accountant to fill out form 990.
- What is the expected time commitment to file form 990, April 990
