In one sentenceRule 3.1182 requires a receiver to send the parties, and any lien holders who ask, a monthly report combining a narrative update, financial figures, and an itemized fee statement broken into tenth-of-an-hour increments, though the reports stay out of the court file unless a judge orders otherwise.

Plain-English Summary
A receiver's job does not happen out of sight. This rule requires monthly reports to go out to the parties, and to any nonparty client lien holders who ask for them, so everyone with a stake in the receivership can track what is happening.
Each report has three parts: a narrative of what happened that month, a financial report, and a statement of every fee paid to the receiver, employees, and any professionals hired, broken down by itemized service, tenth-of-an-hour increments, and either the hourly rate charged or whatever other basis was used.
These reports circulate among the parties, not the court file — they only get filed if a judge specifically orders it.
