Another step is vacations. Does someone in cash handling leave on vacation a week or 2 and a different person cover the responsibility. In embezzlement, the perp often never leaves.

Yep, which is why, on the bank side, you're required to take one vacation of a certain length every year. If there's anything hinky going on, it should show up. This might not be a bad idea for pastors, bookkeepers, etc.
