**Affirmed position.** Cyber Security Disclosure and Accountability of Accounting Professionals presents the following source proposition: </div> <div> Findings – There is an overall consensus among the accounting professionals that there is a need for cyber security disclosure framework. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Opacity about reward eligibility is itself a source of dysfunction: during the first phase of the 2021 Casper testnet it was unclear which validators would be rewarded in each week, which caused friction and non-productive discussions among the validators. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
