To which body does the church treasurer report - the committee on finance or the church council?

Both. The treasurer is a member of both the finance committee and the church council. ¶ 258.4 b) of the 2016 Book of Discipline states, "The church treasurer shall make regular and detailed reports on funds received and expended to the committee on finance and the church council."
