ERISA Fidelity Bonds. Every administrator, officer, and employee of any plan who handles funds or other property of such plan must be bonded. Same goes for officers in a church. NO exceptions.
Actually a smart pastor will watch and have someone sign checks including his pay check.

Just wanted to second this--great advice! I work for a financial institution and even on the computing side we're big on "dual control," "dual custody," and "peer review." It just makes sense, especially when you're talking about money.
