4. What do we wish from the organisation-standard?
Should the IATI standard allow organisations to publish budget-figures in accordance with their own planning/budgeting procedures?
Should it e.g. be possible to publish budgets in any hierarchical way; as long as standard-tags are maintained, it should be free to ‘pivot’
Should the IATI standard allow organisations to draw a distinction between their own funds, and the funds they are merely managing on behalf of other partners?
IATI is not a financial management system, but should we apply / allow some of the concepts?

5. PS – please note relation to other presentations
These sessions are related, in the sense they are aiming for an improved use of our Organisation-file. But the scope is different:
Softly Earmarked (Tuesday 4:30, Madhavi): Suggesting that we should create a join between organisation- and activity- files, to better reflect cooperation under softly earmarked og un-earmarked modalities.
Enriching the Organisation File (Thursday 3:50, Madhavi): Broadening the scope for more, optional enrichments that could or should be considered for version 3; e.g. balance-sheet information and publication of audited annual accounts in data-format, not just document-links.
