A new member of our Board, who is a bookkeeper, wants to have an electronic copy of our financial system so that she can go through and check everything out. I feel very uncomfortable giving her a copy of all our information. Am I just being paranoid? We have nothing to hide.
I don’t know whether you are being paranoid (only your doctor knows for sure), but if she is on the board of directors she has a right to review the financial information. I think I would talk to her about what she wants and how she can be accommodated, with the understanding that the detailed data is not public information and should be treated confidentially. If she has questions she should ask you or the chief financial person if it is someone else.
