Review of the Annual Independent Audit

Ms. Gadre explained that ISOC’s Audited Financial Statements are the consolidated statements of the Internet Society, Public Interest Registry (PIR), Internet Society Foundation, and IETF Administration, LLC. Ms. Gadre continued her presentation with BDO’s responsibilities and the responsibilities of ISOC’s management. Ms. Gadre noted that BDO’s audit objective was to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatements. They expect to issue an unmodified opinion.

Ms. Gadre and Ms. Cheng left the meeting.
