Crude Accountability is a member of the Prove They Are Alive campaign, which documents enforced disappearances in Turkmenistan and holds accountable the government of the country for this gross human rights violation, which is paid for with revenues from oil and gas development--the main revenue of the country. Crude Accountability works on the international level with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the United Nations, international financial institutions, and other governmental and intergovernmental institutions to inform the international community about this crime. We also research the corrupt and kleptocratic linkages between the government official responsible for enforced disappearances and for brokering the oil and gas deals that finance this violation of human rights.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
