  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Sunil Anand, a 
distinguished member of the business community. It behooves us to pay 
tribute to this outstanding leader and I hope my colleagues will join 
me in recognizing his impressive accomplishments.
  A native of India, Sunil Anand is a successful Certified Public 
Accountant and entrepreneur performing specialty services to the non-
profit sector. He has consulted for numerous Headstart and day care 
centers, senior citizen programs, mental health programs, homeless 
prevention programs, AIDS and drug-addiction prevention programs, 
teenage pregnancy prevention programs, and low-income housing programs.
  Mr. Anand is a much sought-after consultant because he is very 
familiar with Federal, State and city rules and regulations for funding 
agency financial reporting procedures. He has conducted certified 
audits including A-133, reviewed and prepared financial statements 
including cash flow analysis and other related statements for various 
non-profit government funded organizations.
  A full-service accounting professional, Mr. Anand has established 
internal control systems including budgetary controls, structure 
polices and procedures with respect to the cycle of the entity's 
activities (external financial reporting), financial statement captions 
(cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and accrued 
liabilities), accompanying systems (cash receipts, disbursements, 
payroll and general ledger) and inventory controls. Additionally, Mr. 
Anand has provided financial and administrative management to the real 
estate industry; his service to the industry included purchase and 
sales of apartment buildings (residential and commercial), multiple 
dwellings, condominiums, and single-family residences.
  In 1968, Mr. Anand graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in 
accounting from Delhi University in India. In 1971, he received 
Professional Accounting and Auditing Training (equivalent P.A.) from 
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. In 1973, he completed 
an IBM System 360--Programming, System Design and Analysis Internship 
Program at New York University and in the same year he completed an 
M.B.A.-C.P.A. Program at Long Island University in New York. In 1984, 
Mr. Anand became a New York State licensed real estate broker and 
notary public.
  Mr. Anand is a member of several professional organizations 
including: Association of MBA Executives; National Association of 
Accountants; National Society of Public Accountants; National Society 
of Tax Professionals; and the American Institute of Professional 
Bookkeepers.
  Mr. Speaker, I believe that it is incumbent on this body to recognize 
the accomplishments of Sunil Anand as he offers his talents and 
philanthropic services for the betterment of our local community.
  Mr. Speaker, Sunil Anand's selfless service has continuously 
demonstrated a level of altruistic dedication that makes him most 
worthy of our recognition today.
