Religious charities are not held to any filing requirements, unless they are so blatant with their misuse of funds. Some ministries have been audited in recent years but there have been strict limitations enacted (I think since 2012) so such audits have ceased since that time.
Most recent exposes have been produced by secular news organizations.

There are laws about it...but little to no enforcement. Most public filings from USA Religions appear to be bogus...especially Watchtower. "Theocratic strategy" AKA: Lies.
