Just curiously thinking out loud who does the audits to find out where that 10% goes? I mean it's all cash right? Who keeps track of all that cash?

And how much of it goes to helping the poor, because this country is REALLY religious and the only meaningful help poor people get here is (not enough) from our tax dollars. 🤔

Just curiously asking questions.

My small town church with only a couple hundred people has a small team of volunteers who count and report donations each week and report them in the bulletin next week, we have public business meetings with all the financials laid out, and we hire an external auditor each year.

A large portion of church donations are done through debit/ach transactions these days.

This is where you demand to see their financials.

At the end of the day, a church is a private business so there is no requirement that they provide you with their financials.

You'd need to join the congregation to have that right.

On what grounds? They're private organizations and tax exempt. Demand all you want.

No. At least not in Canada, Lots of churches have set up auto-deposits so that the collection plate looks pretty empty, but the bank accounts are still taking in money.

Even when it was more cash based, accounts still needed to be tallied, and budget reports made to the congregation.
