Ask the board of Sunnyside Muslim Center 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. Given the record above, a kind, clear request from members matters now.

Subject
Sunnyside Muslim Center and the Ihsan Standard audit
Assalamu alaikum dear brothers and sisters on the board, May Allah reward you for serving the masjid. I wanted to ask whether the board has looked at getting an Ihsan Standard audit. It covers the finances (including donations, zakat and how cash is handled), governance and adherence to the bylaws, and the property records, and it's carried out under an NDA by an independent team. Done well, it protects the board as much as the community. I also saw that the public records for 39-18 47 Avenue, Queens, NY show it was included in the city's final tax lien sale (https://propertyinformationportal.nyc.gov/parcels/parcel/4002000038). It may well be resolved already, but it would put a lot of minds at rest to hear that from the board. I'd be happy to help however I can if the board decides to go ahead. https://ihsanstandard.org/audit JazakAllahu khayran,
