Khachkar Studios Unveils New Template for Financial Transparency

Khachkar Studios has recently introduced an innovative template designed to enhance annual financial transparency among U.S. Armenian churches. This initiative is critical in fostering trust and accountability within religious communities, paralleling similar efforts across various sectors such as government and business.

The key concepts behind this template revolve around Transparency, Accountability, and Performance, collectively known as T•A•P. The 23-page document serves as a comprehensive guide, facilitating a structured approach toward financial disclosure. The template comprises four main components: 1) Church Attendance, 2) Financial Profile, 3) The 'Framework' incorporating T•A•P principles, and 4) materials for pilot candidates.

Developed independently, this template draws on an analysis of the Saints Sahag and Mesrob Armenian Apostolic Church located in Providence, Rhode Island. Khachkar Studios emphasizes the importance of this template in not just enhancing financial management but also in setting a benchmark for excellence in church operations.

"We strongly encourage Armenian church leaders to examine this template thoroughly, and to understand how the ‘Framework’ and T•A•P can be integrated into their governance structures," said a representative from Khachkar Studios.

To promote engagement around this new initiative, Khachkar Studios is offering a series of interactive 40-minute Zoom sessions. These sessions are scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 12:00 PM EDT. Leaders and members from all faiths who show interest in T•A•P and the wider framework are invited to join. Those wishing to participate can express their interest by emailing [email protected] Upon successful completion of the session, participants could receive an honorarium ranging from $100 to $1,000, providing additional incentive for engagement.

For those interested in reviewing the comprehensive template materials, including videos, presentation slides, and podcasts, these resources are accessible online. By searching for the press release title or visiting the Khachkar Studios website, individuals can find and utilize this impactful content.
