The independence and neutrality of the institution is one of the important points in Dompet Dhuafa’s humanitarian work. So, Dompet Dhuafa also does not take sides with one religious group, SARA, and of course non-political.
✅Why is the Audit Process Long?
The external audit process takes time in examining financial records for each mechanism. This is because the auditor is quite detailed in examining DD’s financial statements. DD separates between LAZ reports and Waqf Nadzir reports.
Dompet Dhuafa is managed specifically by following the provisions in PSAK (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards). Provisions in accordance with PSAK 109 for governance as an Amil Zakat Institution, and PSAK 112 for governance as a Waqf Nazir.
