Hmm...I would love to *outsource *financial reporting to WMF together with a couple of other tasks as well (program evaluation for example).
Imo the best would be to contact our (that is WM Hungary) accountant directly so they can get the data organized as wanted, on time, with explanations requested, etc.
In long terms I would love to see a global contract with KPMG (as WMF is using them, or another of the big four) where KPMG (or an alternative firm if not present there) would take this task over from local chapters.
That would ensure that the data is collected the exact same way (with same definitions and methodology used) in every single country, without delays or errors in reporting and on the best dates for WMF.
Not to mention that it would decrease the workload of the chapters what I think barely if ever happened yet.
