If I were a head of state, I would want all the organisations which constitute a non-trivial part of my budget [1] to have good accounting practices and, by extension, whistle-blowing protections.

Is there any reason why someone who is more interested than me in becoming a head of state may think otherwise?

[1] which I define politically as “could I get a headline out of lowering income tax, national insurance, or non-UK equivalent term, by cancelling this line item?”, and I think the EU counts as such for the UK. 1% GDP, IIRC.
