"In keeping other peoples' money, you have to prepare accounts. That is why churches fought me so badly, took me to court as a person and then my office too. Mosques and orthodox churches freely complied, but those Pentecostal churches called me to ask questions. They said: 'This church is church of God and we are accountable to God.' And I told them: 'Very good, so you must take this church to heaven, you can't operate it here'. When public funds are involved, government needs to ensure proper accountability."
(Jim Obazee, former Executive Secretary/CEO of Nigeria's Financial Reporting Council).
CAO.
