Financial Oversight for Muslim Board Members

Building Stronger Muslim Charities & Masjids in Canada

Sound Vision Canada is excited to offer online learning opportunities to help build stronger Muslim charities and masjids across the country. Despite the growth and importance of masjids and Muslim charities in Canada, many boards struggle with lack of formal training. This gap often leads to financial mismanagement risks and weakened community trust.

Join us for a structured multi-workshop professional development program to address the challenges associated with a lack of training. 

Our upcoming online training session with Junaid Mirza equips Muslim board members with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to lead effectively while fulfilling their religious and civic responsibilities in financial oversight. This session marks the first in our series: Financial Stewardship & Compliance for Muslim Not-for-Profit Boards. 

On June 24, 2026, you will participate in a training workshop designed to help you:

• Gain confidence in reading budgets, financial statements, and audit reports.
• Understand your role in approving budgets and monitoring spending.
• Learn to ask the right questions to safeguard community funds.

The recording and presentation slides will be shared with all those who register, insha Allah.
