dbo:abstract
  • The finances of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) are not a matter of public record. In the absence of official statements, people interested in knowing the church’s financial status and behavior, including both members of the church and people outside the church, have attempted to estimate or guess. According to the church, their funding comes from the donations of its members and the principal expense is in constructing and maintaining facilities. When the LDS Church takes in more donations than it pays out in period expenses, it uses the surplus to build a reserve for capital expenditures and for future years when period expenses may exceed donations. The church invests its reserve to maintain the principal and generate a reasonable return and directs its investments into income-producing assets that may help it in its mission, such as farmland- and communication-related companies and the City Creek Center (see below). The LDS Church has not publicly disclosed its financial statements in the United States since 1959. The church does disclose its financials in the United Kingdom and Canada where it is required to do so by law. In the UK, these financials are audited by the UK office of PricewaterhouseCoopers. The LDS Church maintains an internal audit department that provides its certification at each annual general conference that contributions are collected and spent in accordance with established church policy. In addition, the church engages a public accounting firm (currently Deloitte) to perform annual audits in the United States of its not-for-profit, for-profit, and some educational entities. (en)
  • Las finanzas de La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días, también conocida informalmente como iglesia mormona o iglesia SUD, son similares a las de otras organizaciones religiosas y sin fines de lucro, ya que su financiación proviene de las donaciones de sus miembros y su principal gasto consiste en la construcción y mantenimiento de instalaciones.​ Cuando la iglesia SUD recibe más donaciones de las que paga en gastos del período, utiliza el excedente para construir una reserva para gastos de capital y para años futuros cuando los gastos del período pueden exceder las donaciones. La iglesia invierte su reserva para mantener el capital y generar un rendimiento razonable y dirige sus inversiones a activos que generen ingresos que puedan ayudarlo en su misión, como las tierras agrícolas y las empresas relacionadas con la comunicación y el City Creek Center.​ La iglesia SUD no ha divulgado públicamente sus estados financieros en los Estados Unidos desde 1959.​ La iglesia sí divulga sus finanzas en el Reino Unido​ y Canadá​ donde la ley así lo exige. En el Reino Unido, estas finanzas son auditadas por la oficina de PricewaterhouseCoopers ubicada en dicho país. La iglesia SUD mantiene un departamento de auditoría interna que proporciona su certificación en cada conferencia general anual de que las contribuciones se recaudan y gastan de acuerdo con la política establecida de la iglesia. Además, la iglesia contrata a una firma de contadores públicos (actualmente Deloitte) para realizar auditorías anuales en los Estados Unidos de sus entidades sin fines de lucro,​ con fines de lucro​ y algunas entidades educativas.​​ (es)
