The Dynamics of Religious Nonprofit Transparency and Doctrinal Resistance
A research line focusing on the intersection of religious doctrine and tax-exempt organizational structures where internal auditing is blocked by claims of theological sovereignty.
This topic applies the Powell-Rad Path to the historical phenomenon of 'theological shielding' in nonprofit auditing. We observe how the 'Name the Lie' electrode identifies the use of sacred doctrine to hide institutional malfeasance.
