On this page, you will find access to EO’s audited financial statements and key governance documents. While we are required to disclose certain financial information upon request, EO goes beyond what is required by law. We voluntarily participate in an annual independent audit to ensure our financial records, business transactions, and internal controls meet the highest standards of accuracy and compliance.
You’ll also find an overview of EO’s governance framework, including our Articles of Incorporation, Global Bylaws, Chapter License Agreements, Policies and Procedures, and Code of Conduct. Together, these documents define how EO operates globally and within local chapters, ensuring consistency, accountability, and alignment with our mission.

As a 501(c)3 non-profit in the United States, where EO is registered, tax-exempt organizations like EO are required by law to file a Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which provides an overview of the organization's activities, governance and detailed financial information. Forms 990 are open to the public.
