Wisdom would call for safeguards to be set up in order to remove any temptation for dishonesty. Sad that it should be necessary.

We had a similar experience in our support group years ago. Fortunately we asked the lady to resign before it got to the 10s of thousands of dollars, but she managed to keep a whole lot of money for YEARS. The first 6 signs were there for us, to the T. Our ethical dilemma came the next year when we heard she was teaching at different co-op. Should we or should we not warn them? We ended up deciding we should. Don’t know what happened after that.

Great article for ANY organization! Another thing that I have seen before is that a seriously close relationship between the leader and bookkeeper. (treasurer) Sometimes those close relationships make it difficult to hold each other accountable.
