Why don't mosques produce an annual report?

A Turk asks a question about the financial accountability of mosques in Turkey:

Ertugrul Ozkok: Why don't mosques produce an annual report?
This report raises in my mind the question of "Can places of worship have annual reports, budgets and balance sheets?" My answer is: "Yes". And they should because: When these earnings of a place of worship are not clearly and openly presented to the religious community, the funds that are collected from the well-meaning religious community can be used for unrelated activities; these adverse activities are slowly leading to the deterioration of society.
