checking acct.

Can there be more than 1 member of a family on the church checking account?

I know of no law against; however, it is not an ideal situation. I know that for some small and/or start-up churches, it is their only option.

There needs to be proper internal controls in place though.

If at all possible, the person signing the checks should not be the same person who records expenditures and another unrelated person should do the bank reconciliation each month.

See more measures you can put in place to maintain good internal controls.
