This is a summary of the contents of this subproposal and its impact, from GovAlpha's perspective:

- This is a valid general MIP in accordance to the General MIP template.
- It proposes a framework for transparent and consistent reporting on operational funds enabled by Maker Governance to its decentralized workforce. This includes Core Units, [MIP55](https://mips.makerdao.com/mips/details/MIP55) recipients, and future Governance approved mechanisms of providing funds for operational expenses.
- The framework covers the following items:
    - The roles, responsibilities and qualifications for accountants, auditors, and operational wallet signers are defined.
    - Multi-sig standards for operational and auditor wallets are defined.
    - Standards for the monthly budget statement and monthly auditor report are defined. The processes and flow of funds each month are also defined.
    - Dispute escalation and resolution as well as arbitration mechanisms are defined. 
- This MIP does not impact any currently approved budgets and utilization for current or future budgets is optional. 
- This proposal has been assigned `High-Impact` based on the methodology listed [here](https://manual.makerdao.com/governance/off-chain/impact-estimations).
