How could someone spend their finances in the service of God without being manipulated?

Many Christians have given up on supporting Church projects because there has been lack  of transparency in how the finances are being managed. Some Church finances simply disappear with no clear explanation from the Church leadership. On account of this, should Christians give up on supporting the Church financially? If not, how can the exercise be streamlined for transparency? If Christians are to carry on supporting the Church, how should they do it to ensure financial excellency in the Church?
