By Lillian Kwon, Christian Post Reporter

A Senate investigation into the spending of six televangelists concluded Thursday with a list of concerns and a call for the formation of a federal advisory committee to ensure religious organizations comply with laws.

Three years after launching the probe, Sen.

Charles Grassley, ranking member of the Committee on Finance, released a staff review of the practices of the popular media-based ministries.

According to the report, only two of the six ministries – Joyce Meyer Ministries and Benny Hinn's World Healing Center Church – fully cooperated with the investigation and even implemented financial reforms.

"The reforms undertaken by Pastor Hinn and Joyce Meyer are extensive and are to be commended," the review states.
