Church Finances, Tithing, and the Transparency Question

Presiding Bishop

As Presiding Bishop, Caussé oversees the Church's financial, real estate and investment operations, and Ensign Peak is supervised by the Presiding Bishopric. He published a 2018 article and Q&A on Church finances defending reserves by analogy to the parable of the talents, and gave a rare interview in February 2020 in which the Presiding Bishopric said the Church's combined humanitarian and welfare aid was approaching $1 billion a year.

February 2020

The Presiding Bishopric gives a rare interview

Presiding Bishop Gérald Caussé and his counselors told the Deseret News that the Church had doubled its humanitarian spending over five years and now provided nearly $1 billion a year in combined humanitarian and welfare aid, alongside 30,000 congregations, more than 200 temples and education for hundreds of thousands of students. 'It's no surprise we are talking about billions of dollars,' Caussé said.

Disputed Critics point out that the Church's published welfare fact sheets historically counted material assistance and volunteer labor alongside cash, and that cash aid was a minority of the totals.
