I think this is a bit excessive. Unless the signer with those relationships coerced or duped the other signer of the check to get it signed there is little chance for wrongdoing. Don't forget there is a usually a third party, the bishop (unless he is one of the signers), who must approve the disbursement also.PNMarkW2 wrote:...I would suggest that best practice would be not to sign any check made out to anyone in his family, anyone in his extended family, or anyone living in his home, regardless of the account the funds are drawn from. This is policy in our ward and serves us well to avoid even the appearance of wrongdoing.
How cautious do we need to be? Can nobody be trusted? I think the Church has limited the chances of impropriety with the procedures established. Why add more complexity?
