Ask the board of Augsburg Msa for an Ihsan audit

The masjid is an amānah, a trust the board holds for the whole community. The Ihsan Standard audit is an independent review of the masjid’s finances as a whole, its governance and adherence to its bylaws, and its property records, carried out under a mutual NDA. A short, kind request from members is often what gets it on the board’s agenda.

Subject
Augsburg Msa: would the board consider an Ihsan Standard audit?
Salaam alaikum, I hope this finds you well. I wanted to raise something I think a lot of us in the community would support. Would the board be open to an Ihsan Standard audit? From what I understand it's a full review: the masjid's accounts and donation flows, zakat handling, board structure and adherence to the bylaws, and the deed and tax records. It's confidential (they sign a mutual NDA) and the first conversation and scoping are free. "Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due" (4:58). I think an independent audit would strengthen the trust people already place in the board, and make it easier for everyone to give generously. https://ihsanstandard.org/audit With thanks and duas,
