Rene Bruelhart, director of the Financial Information Authority, meets the journalists at the Vatican. Monday, May 14, 2014. The Vatican has seen a spike in the number of suspicious financial transactions being reported as its troubled bank goes through its books to review accounts. The Vatican's financial watchdog agency released its annual report Monday. The report showed that there were 202 suspicious transactions reported to the Financial Information Authority in 2013 compared to only six a year earlier and just one in 2011.

He said it just means that new laws and procedures are being implemented and are working to flag potentially problematic transactions that may require further investigation.
