Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See
- Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See
The Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See is an office of the Roman Curia, erected on 15 August 1967, and entrusted with overseeing all the offices of the Holy See that manage finances, regardless of their degree of autonomy.
It does not manage finances itself, but instead audits the balance sheets and budgets of the offices that do. It then prepares and publishes annually a general financial report. It must be consulted on all projects of major importance undertaken by the offices in question. ["Annuario Pontificio" 2007 (ISBN 978-88-209-7908-9), p. 1901]
The Vatican Bank, which does not manage property of the Holy See, is not overseen by the Prefecture. [Pollard, 2005, p. 2.] This prefecture is also distinct from the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See, which was formed from the merger of the Administration of the Property of the Holy See and the Special Administration of the Holy See.
