LDC Accounts

While it is not mandatory to make these accounts publicly available for download, LDCs often encourage openness regarding their financial status to their constituents.

Accordingly, an LDC might include a statement on its website or in its communications to ensure dental professionals in the area are aware that they can access the financial information on request. Such a statement could be:

“We would like to inform all dental professionals in our area that the accounts of the Local Dental Committee are maintained with the highest standards of accountability. Your LDC Accounts are not available to download online, however, they are available for review upon request. Any dental professional who wishes to peruse the accounts can do so by contacting the Treasurer directly. We uphold a commitment to transparency within our community and are happy to facilitate any inquiries regarding the stewardship of the finances.”

Including such a message ensures that while the accounts are not publicly accessible to anyone browsing the website, they remain accessible to those professional individuals they concern, thus striking a balance between confidentiality and availability.
