Counselor; deficit spender
Appointed second counselor in June 1959, two months after the last published expenditure report, Moyle took direction of Church finances and launched a large increase in spending, especially on buildings. Quinn writes that the Church spent $8 million more than it received in 1959, against a $7 million surplus the year before. Moyle is the figure most directly linked in the historical literature to the end of published accounts.

Deficit spending, and the decision not to publish
Henry D. Moyle, appointed second counselor two months after the last report, set aside the current budget and launched a large increase in expenditure, especially on buildings. Quinn writes that the Church spent $8 million more than it received in 1959, against a $7 million surplus after 1958's expenditures, and that because the last published report had included the building program, Moyle persuaded McKay not to publish even an abbreviated accounting. In April 1962 the Auditing Committee's public reports stopped noting whether the Church carried debt.
