Something happened recently in a shul where a trustee stole a lot of money. I am not bringing this up to discuss the hows and whys. I am bringing this up to make a point. In every shul, school, etc. there should be checks and balances. ONE person should NEVER be in charge of the money because it is too be a responsibility and a temptation especially in these days of financial problems. There should be a checks and balances systems. Banks should be notifying 3 members if the mortgage isn’t paid. Two or three people should have to sign checks and signed checks should never be lying around waiting for just one more signature. Bank statements should be reviewed every month by more than one individual. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THESE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR GRANTED. It is better safe than sorry.
its always good to have checks and balances with mroe than one person.
transparency is important as well.
a shule or any other organization should have financial reports every year.
“a shule or any other organization should have financial reports every year.”
And an outside auditer.
There was a story a few years back about a rov who left in disgrace when he was accused of stealing money from the shul. B”H he was eventually cleared, but a good deal of heartache could have been avoided had everything been more transparent.
That’s another reason that Aries’ advice is very prudent.
See, had you davened in a shteeble, this would not have been a problem. All the $$$ goes into one pocket, and there is no expectation of any accountability at all.
And everyone (excluding Uncle Shmeel) is satisfied with the arrangement!
bpt- did you once say that someone told you that if you dont watch out your kids are going to be chassidish or heimish or something like that….do i remember correctly?
your kids are going to be chassidish or heimish or something like that…
Waddya mean, gonna? Don’t let my saracsm and english spelling fool you. We shukle and dress like the brothas and sistus in BP
Ok, no shtramel and shpitzle. But otherwise, we’re as generic as the next family in 11219!
that means that your kids are dressed to kill every day with the perfect socks, shoes, hats…. and mrs bpt doesn’t work she shops all day for all that perfect clothing and your house is spanking clean.
Pretty close!
Some of us dress better than others, wife works AND can draw a map of Woodbury Commons from memory.
House? Depends who is coming over.
