Presumably external auditors would be hired by the stakeholders though. Particularly for the for-profit entity with investors and a lot of money passing through it. I’d imagine it would be conducted by EY, PwC, Deloitte or KPMG.

Congratulations to Kagi. This is by far one of the most useful products I use every day for both work and personal use, and I absolutely adore the small web feature. Excited to get a few stickers and a shirt as a thank you!
