Majlis-e- ‘ A mila , but not an individual (office holder), can make internal adjustments, but it has no authority to increase one million to one point one million. For this they have to acquire the approval of Markaz whether or not they can increase their budget that year. These are the matters in which Jam a ‘ats sometimes overstep the bounds without seeking permission from Markaz. Another point I have often emphasized is that if your budget is running out and you still have your requirements, then before the budget should run out you should call the meeting of Majlis-e-‘ A mila and seek approval from Markaz. But what happens it that at the end of the year when we ask for the accounts, all sorts of excuses are given for post-facto approval. At times we have to ignore such things because people are not yet properly trained. But I would like to make it clear in this sermon that I have overlooked enough, I will not do so again, for the protection of the financial system of the Jam a ‘at is very crucial. This is something which will last for hundreds of years to come…. …If the Jam a ‘at feels certain that the expenditure is carefully monitored and the regulations are being followed to the letter,. . . then the finances of the Jam a ‘at shall never run out….
