Reliability Tier2
Tier two: a self-published institutional article by Giorgio Zennaro, administrator of the Regional Commission of Italy, on the Prelature's own site, read directly, giving the Prelature's own account of its financial structure and its own reported expense figures for Italy. Reliable for the organization's own self-description and its own reported figures, not an independent audit of those figures. NotesOpus Dei's own account of why it publishes no single consolidated worldwide balance sheet: each apostolic undertaking, school, university, residence and other institution, is run by its own governing body and is meant to be financially self-sustaining with its own separate accounts, so a consolidated figure would not reflect the practical or legal reality. States the Prelature's own total expenses in Italy for 2023 at 1,210,000 euros, including about 890,000 euros for governance headquarters and full-time governance staff and about 285,000 euros in support for its 70 incardinated priests in Italy.
