For those who can access the Salt Lake Tribune site, there is a (fairly long) article on the history of the various corporate incarnations of the church and why it kept changing.
https://www.sltrib.com/news/2021/06/01/lds-corp-church-longs/Apparently, the Corporation of the President and the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop have now been merged into an entity officially called The Chuch of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
"Church officials recently wrapped up a corporate merger they had announced in 2019, when the well-known “Corporation of the Presiding Bishop” — used for decades to manage nonecclesiastical real estate and other holdings — was renamed “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
As 2020 closed, another long-standing church entity, its Corporation of the President, which governed temples and other sacred buildings, merged into the renamed corporation as of Dec. 31. The Corporation of the President has now ceased to exist, according to filings at the Utah Department of Commerce, the state’s keeper of corporate records."
