Cardinal George Pell appears to have settled in quite nicely to his new role as ‘’God’s banker’’.
CBD is not sure how his Italian language skills are faring but in a recent interview with the Catholic News Service from St John’s Tower in Vatican City, he certainly showed how well he has boned up on the corporate lingo.
In an article titled Pope’s finance chief talks Vatican reform, Pell was asked what he was doing in Rome and why the reform was necessary.
‘‘I’d say we’re attempting to put into place the best available set of management practices,’’ Pell says.
There are international standards for accounting and money management which Pell says he’s introducing to the Vatican, such as regular independent audits.
