I haven't been following this thread too well lately, but what are
your thoughts on this? I'm willing to volunteer, as I do have some
experience in non-professional accounting and auditing (I'm not an
accounting or auditing professional but do have about 20 years of
experience in doing accounting and auditing for non-profit
organizations of various sizes).
My understanding is that there are three kinds of assets Debian has
(held in trust by SPI): monetary, hardware and IP. A trivial way of
auditing these is as follows (this is from a Finnish perspective, US
may do things differently).
Monetary assets: Bank statements for the auditing period provide
enough information in the normal case.
Hardware: For servers on the Internet, SSH access to those should
provide enough information as to their configuration.
IP: This requires a bit more work (I admit I have little experience in
this field). I'd say that a statement from the board as to what has
been done to protect the IP, including any applications made to the
proper authorities, would be a good start.
