Ask the board of MAPS Seattle 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
A suggestion for MAPS Seattle: independent financial and governance review
Assalamu alaikum, As a regular at MAPS Seattle, I've been thinking about how we can make sure the masjid stays strong for the next generation, and I wanted to share a suggestion with the board. Ihsan Standard runs independent audits for masjids: finances end to end, collection and spending, governance and bylaws, and property records. It happens under an NDA, so nothing is made public without the board's say, and the aim is to help, not to embarrass. Many donors, me included, would give with more confidence knowing the masjid had been through a review like this. Could the board consider it at the next meeting? https://ihsanstandard.org/audit JazakumAllahu khayran,
