Since October 2021 community members with an interest in auditing and oversight initiated research into reporting and participated in the Catalyst Auditing working group ( see https://catalyst-swarm.gitbook.io/catalyst-auditing/admin/meetings ).

The Catalyst Audit Circle is tasked with:

• Listening to problems around auditability including use of the reporting system, confusion in the process and identifying bad actors.

• Prioritizing proposal audit issues with the help of the community. Looking at the complexity, implementation effort and relevant concerns to guide what to solve first.

• Coordinating and collaborating with the community to investigate and develop potential solutions to auditing issues. Any solutions developed can go through the Catalyst funding process.
