The president and four non-executive members of the governing board of the Vatican bank are due to step down, the BBC has learned.

BBC获悉，梵蒂冈银行董事会的总裁以及四位非执行董事成员将离职。
 
The move, part of a restructure of the Catholic Church's central government, will be announced on Wednesday. 
 
Pope Francis has sought to stamp out（扑灭，踩灭） corruption1 and other abuses at the bank, which handles the Church's funds.
 
The news comes after the bank said its profit fell to 2.9m euros in 2013, down from 86.6m euros in 2012.
 
Attempts to create a more transparent2 banking3 system for the Catholic Church, begun by Pope Benedict after allegations were made that the Vatican bank had been used by money launderers, will continue under new management.
 
Balance sheet woes4
 
The Vatican's precarious5（危险的） financial situation was revealed by the simultaneous publication in Rome of balance sheets for 2013 of the Holy See, of the Vatican City state, a separate entity6, and of the Vatican bank, known officially as the Institute for Religious Works (IOR). 
 
The IOR moves money around the world to finance Catholic missions and provides banking services for the pope, clergy7 and religious orders.
 
Alongside the bank's massive drop in profits, the Holy See, the administrative8 headquarters of the Church, ran up a deficit9 of 24.2m euros last year. 
 
However Vatican City state, the tiny sovereign enclave in the heart of Rome, which derives10 a large part of its income from tickets to the Vatican museums, reported a profit of 32.3m euros.
