Privately derived wallets cannot be obtained, though you could, without loss of security, share also the addition points from privately derived wallets: (m/i')*G, but there is no concept of a single public master key. == Audits: M In case an auditor needs full access to the list of incoming and outgoing payments, one can share the master public extended key. This will allow the auditor to see all transactions from and to the wallet, in all accounts, but not a single secret key. ==
