Thanks for bringing up the subject of financial accounting for major
events. I would just like to note that our colleagues at Wikimedia
Deutschland who hosted Wikimedia Conference 2015 published an accounting of
that conference's finances just a few months after the conference (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2015/Budget_and_finances).
Perhaps other events could use a similar method for budgeting and
accounting so that other reports are also produced in a timely manner.

Regards,
Pine
