All but one business or non-profit I've worked for or with had a
two-person signature rule. (over a certain small amount) One still
writes paper checks to keep that standard. (not sure myself how that is
handled electronically)
For the one business that allowed only one signature for any amount, it
was a mom & pop business, in a small town, with a small town bank, with
signature images on file and all of the tellers personally know the
business owners. (who are the only ones approved to sign checks) They
did have a rule with the bank that if over a certain high amount, the
bank had to speak to the other owner to confirm the check. *All* checks
had to be made with an 'imprinter' and could not have their amounts hand
written.

Adrien

Incidentally, the textbook also says that checks should ideally require two
signatures. I don't know how to impose that control over electronic transfers
but the local newspaper reports two or three cases of embezzlement a year where
it's obvious that a two-person control would have prevented the crime.
