The Vatican bank will publish its
financial accounts for the first time by the end of 2013,
Italian news agency Ansa reported, citing remarks made by the
bank’s head, Ernst von Freyberg.
The Vatican bank, which is formally called the Institute
for the Works of Religion, or IOR, will also have its balance
sheet audited, Ansa cited Von Freyberg as telling the bank’s
employees at a meeting last week.
