You may as well ask for "Accountability and transparency within our institutions and leadership.".
My suggestion is read my posts/comments about HASC and Project Genesis/Team Genesis and make your own inquiries and information requests (send a freedom of information request). Do your own research and investigation. Some of these organizations are non-profit and have audit requirements. Some aren't.

See update from Tzemach
"UPDATE: my challenge is met:
I was not aware of the form 990. You have met my challenge (see the comments from Stan). I am not convinced that this from paints an accurate picture of the representative organizations but it is what I asked for. I can only say that transparency is healthy for Lubavitch and other organization as they increasingly speak on behalf of many. I still think that Thailand campaign is cynical and dishonest but Lubavitch is not along in the grab as I got an email from Magen David Adom via J. Post asking for Tsunami relief. I will address this in my later posts. Thank you for your input. "
