English FA chief executive Adam Crozier today told delegates at the FIFA Congress in Seoul that the world governing body's credibility had been "severely damaged" by the recent financial wranglings.
Crozier said: "In the president's (Sepp Blatter) own recent words - 'the house of FIFA is on fire'. In the last few weeks, and especially yesterday and today, that has proved to be the case.
"We believe the credibility of FIFA has been severely damaged before the eyes of the world.
"The governing body of football can only govern by trust and that trust has been fundamentally broken.
"In the interests of transparency we believe it is only right and fair that congress hears in full on matters of finance from Michel Zen-Ruffinen (FIFA's general secretary)."
Earlier, Blatter announced the investigation into FIFA's finances, which he suspended last month, will continue after the World Cup. The internal audit committee will re-start its work after the finals have taken place.
Crozier's criticisms prompted a dismissive response from Blatter. He said: "We have said we will take no more questions interfering on finances and the general secretary has already said that he won't speak on the finances or accept any responsibility for them."
The decision came just a few hours before the vote for the presidential election, in which Swiss lawyer Blatter is standing against Issa Hayatou, the Cameroonian who heads the African federation.
