Accountability in Trust Reports and Communications


Contemporary donors are demanding greater accountability in the administration of their trusts and in the investment of their trust assets. Trust performance is of keen interest to most trust donors, especially when they are the income beneficiaries. Our accountability includes goals for investment achievement and reports that are easy to understand and useful for monitoring investment results.
