Why are churches so secretive about finance?

In the UK churches can get tax breaks from the Govt. If they register themselves as a charity. Given that they are prepared to accept public money in this way from
the tax payer, I think that they should be requred to let anyone who wants to know see their income/expenditure.
I know that in most churches about 70 percent of monies is used to pay the clergy, and not all that much is spent on charitible work.
Should they be allowed to claim money from the public purse in the first place anyway?
