  1. How is IPT funded?

    The IPT may accept contributions from any person, entity, or organization interested in investor education, investor protection and enforcement of the regulatory laws regarding securities and commodities. Contributions resulting from state and federal regulatory settlements, court-directed funds, and contributions from foundations are the primary sources of funding for IPT.

  2. How do trustees provide financial oversight?

    The trustees fulfill their financial oversight responsibility through systems of internal accounting and financial controls and monitor the independence of the independent auditors. Pursuant to the Trust instrument the Trustees have selected a qualified certified public accountant to annually audit the trust's financial statements and report thereon to the trustees.
