Is there a published copy of the Solo 2 section of the SCCA budget, or the
entire budget? Income, expenditures, debits, credits, and all that other
accountant stuff?

It would be interesting to have someone very knowledgeable about accounting
take a peek at how the SCCA budget is arranged.  I suspect that the Solo 2
programs are not 'encapsulated' (that would be too easy), rather probably
overlapped through things like insurance, etc.

It may alleviate concerns, or not. Facts would be nice.

All the 'what-ifs' and related hysteria is pointless without real solid
information. But it would take a very good real accountant to sort it all
through. There are many ways to arrange budget statements and show expenses and
income.
