Example

Imagine you’re part of a teachers’ group at your school.

The group must keep track of all the money they spend and earn, like dues or event costs. Every year, they have to show a clear money report to all the teachers in the group and the school board. If they don’t, any teacher can complain to the board, and the board can force them to show the report.
