Agree with this, the situation and context of the person who is asking depends on the level of transparancy we need to give. When needed for the situation, we need full openess. Next to that, companies should strive for as much openness as possible for anyone, without revealing things that don't add value in the relationship. Thanks again for your input on this.

Dismantling Mickey is not in a children’s interest, he or she has no interest in the person playing the role. When I am a student making a master piece about the average age of Disney’s workers, it is obvious that I am interested. My point is that we have to strive to transparency in the pure sense of the word: giving insights to interested parties, telling all details to people asking for. If you would have seen the details of the Efteling, Steven, because it would have helped you for your work, you would never break down your children’s magic, would you ? But you would be a better informed person thanks to the transparency of the park. My message as auditor and as person is clear: strive to 100% transparency for people who have a legitimate request for it. Transparency has no limits in those cases. One simple example: when marketing people, my clients, ask for transparency in the media business, no one has the right not to answer openly and honestly.
