As citizens of the nation, we have rights and responsibilities. It is essential to enable the sole sovereign, the People, to make the right choices by offering them full and complete transparency—in fact, automatic third-party oversight, granted by the constitution—over all the services they pay for, whether directly or through taxes and levies. What is paid for by the People belongs to the People. What is paid for by citizens belongs to citizens, and we therefore have a de facto right to third-party oversight over everything that belongs to us, over everything we pay for. This implies that all sectors of a social nature—Education, Health, Justice, the Press and the State—must provide citizens with third-party oversight over all financial flows that touch directly or indirectly on all their activities. Without this third-party oversight, how can citizens make decisions that correspond to their interests, to the interests of their families, to the interests of their community and, ultimately, to the interests of the greatest number and of the nation?

Concretely, the 4ovet24 Third-Party Oversight Initiative requires very simple information—information which, in 2025, is concealed, inaccessible or drowned in complexity and interpretations that make it perfectly unusable. Below is the list of straightforward information that all citizens—that the People—demand to have at their disposal on an ongoing basis and at a minimum by 31 January for the previous year. In the public-interest fields of Education, Health, Justice, the Press and the State, whatever the legal form—Association, Foundation, LLC, Ltd, the State or any other whatsoever—all are required to provide the following elements in public access:
• Total revenue, plus the 20 largest sources of income, naming each one
• Revenue by business segment, including donors, naming each one
• Revenue by all service providers or contractually linked entities, naming each one
• Revenue from citizen sources, directly and indirectly (such as the State)
• Total expenses, plus the 20 largest outgoing payments, naming each one
• Expenses by business segment, including charitable expenditures, naming each one
• Payroll expenses, plus the 20 highest salaries, naming each one
• Expenses with all providers or contractually linked entities, naming each one
• Legal form and statutes of the entity, plus internal regulations
• List, naming each person, of executives and board members, with their roles
• List of shareholders, dividends and payments made to all members of management
• Contracts with all external service providers
• Value of all financial reserves, capital investments and pension funds
• Estimated yearly value of all real-estate assets
• Estimated yearly value of equipment and infrastructure
• Estimated yearly cost of maintaining and servicing infrastructure
That’s all! It is as simple as that! All the necessary figures, all the essential information fit on two to four A4 pages! The goal is to enable citizens to judge for themselves the effectiveness and the price/quality ratio of the services provided by all the entities that work for the People, that are paid by the People, for the success of the nation. If they wish, each citizen has direct access to the information that allows them to understand the environment that is imposed on them by law, and they become an integral part of the “Department of Public Efficiency”.
