The goal of doing this is to generate income for the foundation, so having  
an audit on the administration doesn't really acomplish anything. Just  
show distrust to generate income. At the same time, even if such distrust  
exist, it doesnt really matter as long as it shows (with actions more than  
number) that is reaching it's goal.

In other words, you dont care if a government has corruption inside it's  
administration as long as you see performing well. Doing constant audits  
doesn't really matter if there is no 'jobs' or whatever is needed in the  
country.

You can apply the same thing to any other service public or private.  
Liability is a factor of life.
