¶ 704. All the
general agencies of the Church, including councils, boards, commissions, and
committees constituted by the General Conference, shall account for receipts and
expenditures of funds in a format designed by the General Council on Finance and
Administration. A quadrennial report of such accounting shall be included in the

Conference.
Annual reports shall be made

fellowships, coalitions, consultants, programs, and entities not formally part

financial assistance that have been granted to such
entities.
