See, I'm not convinced, given the type of problems that people have run into with borrowing from TAFF funds, that having two signatures required for bigger ticket items would necessarily fix anything. I don't think anyone every fell afoul of using TAFF funds to pay the rent. I believe you get in a hole by borrowing a little here and there, now and again, to tide you over this partiular hump, with every intention of putting it back, and that a little bit here and there just builds up into something large over time. Maybe if a second person had electronic access to the fund account, and got monthly electronic statements, they could at least keep an eye on patterns of expenditure. I think that the guarantee of scrutiny (and the requirement of having a separate account) would do at least as much good, if not more, than requiring a second signature on large checks.
