Transparency
It is notable that many hypnotherapy organisations have little transparency - especially with regard to board members, trustees, controlling interests, Annual General Meetings, election of officers and use of funds.
For example The Hypnotherapy Society claims income in excess of £104,000 per annum. Yet there are no published accounts to show what the income is used for. The General Hypnotherapy Register has unpublished income - however if one is to believe the claim of 3,000 members then income is above £220,000 per year. The costs of the GHR are likely to be minimal with a simple website, a monochrome 4 page quarterly newsletter and a home office run by the owner, William Broom. (However this is a commercial for-profit entity.) The NCH, by comparison, has been publishing its accounts (since under new leadership) in the NCH quarterly journal. To achieve greater transparency published accounts could be published on their website.)

Famous quotes containing the word transparency:
“Life is filigree work.... What is written clearly is not worth much, it’s the transparency that counts.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
““End of tomorrow.
Don’t try to start the car or look deeper
Into the eternal wimpling of the sky: luster
On luster, transparency floated onto the topmost layer
Until the whole thing overflows like a silver
Wedding cake or Christmas tree, in a cascade of tears.””
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
