No.

Only the deacons should know who is giving what. And only the deacon who is acting as treasurer. (IMO that is a job for a deacon.)

I can not honestly think of a situation that would require the deacons to discuss the specific giving levels of the members as a normal part of the job.

In some cases, if a person was applying for an intrest free loan (yes we did that!) to pay off debt, then we would ask the treasurer if they gave regularly and consistently. He might, if in his judgement it was relevent, tell us the amount, or mention that it was inconsistent. However those loans came with manditory budget meetings with the district deacon, so he would know the circumstances of the persons giving. Since in this case he knew of all giving & spending he could recomend (or not) the loan based on his financial counselling with the people involved.
