Church Budget

[ljhart]

Is there a place where I can view the budget of the church? I know that it is audited twice annually and reported at General Conference, but I have a close friend with concerns about the church's financial practices especially after recent news regarding stocks were brought to light. It doesnt bother me, but I want to show him how much we help and that the Lord asks us all (even the Church) to have a storehouse to anticipate times of trial. Any help would be appreciated.

Several recent articles in the Church News have discussed how the Church uses its funds and have provided actual amounts in some cases. I would start there. Your friend might also visit with the bishop to learn more about Church finances.
