Nobody is asking for a 100 page GAAP-compliant independently-audited report. Simple financial reports with limited line items are not that difficult to create. A Secretary-Treasurer should know how to do this with basic QuickBooks software. Heck, its part of the job description. What is unacceptable, and contrary to the Bylaws, is to not publish anything at all. I'm sure there are enough MBA-educated pilots here that could help. I know ALPAshutusdown is one of them, right bud?
