Being the PTO president I am not on the the bank account and cannot have access to it. Our treasure and principal are the only names on the account.

How is that any different than putting a Treasurer on it? Or a VP or a Fundraising Board Member. President is just a title. As long as you have good bylaws and more than one person on the board that is on the account I would think that would be adequate enough "checks and balances".

I have been PTO President for 2 years and I am on the account. However, the one who handles the money, the Treasurer, is not on the account. Which makes sense because the checkbook remains with her. She is not allowed to write/sign a check.

We have 3 people able to sign our checks, as each check needs 2 signatures - the treasurer (as she is the one who has to write the checks), the president (helps her keep tabs on what is being spent) and one other (in-case one of the other two are unable to sign a check).

Our president also looks over our bank statements before the treasurer takes them home (they get mailed to the school, as does all our bank's correspondence) as another check on our finances.
