The Association was a massive organization.
It was the only organization that had established branches in almost every city in the world, and the governance of those innumerable branches was left in the hands of branch masters and their faithful teams.
That being said, several fundamental policies must be followed, and the main office would know if the policies were ever breached. Moreover, the one who did it would face severe repercussions for his non-exemplary action.
For struggling branches, the main office could also act as lender of the last resort. But, as the term suggested, the disbursed financial aid was not free and adversely affected the annual assessment. As such, every branch was doing its best to be independent.
Currently, all branches were financially sufficient.
Minor cash flow issues still existed though, which was a normal occurrence in an ever-changing environment. Fortunately, the branches could solve the issues themselves.
