Best Answer

To make certain the attorney-in-fact can account for all the funds handled by the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the principal. To make certain there was no abuse of power, self dealing or mishandling of funds. There should always be a detailed record of everything that came in and everything that went out with corresponding receipts. If there is money missing that cannot be accounted for the AIF can be held personally liable.
