Reading fund records
| Information | What to check |
|---|---|
| Transaction reference | The currency, network, transaction ID, and amount transferred. |
| Use of funds | The purpose of an expense and its supporting documentation. |
| Reporting period | The dates covered by a report, rather than assuming a figure is a current balance. |
| Wallet balance | A dated on-chain balance is different from total contributions or total spending. |
On-chain records and written explanations should be read together. A transfer between wallets is not necessarily a donation or an expense.
Questions about a published record can be directed to support. Include the relevant transaction reference, not private wallet information.
