Put address changes through or do mail forward at the post office and pay them or have the mail redirected to the POA.

Everyone in life needs accountability. No matter who fulfills this role, you or someone else involved, needs to oversee this. Review bank statements and ensure it’s being done ethically

No! Embezzlement is a very common crime because it is usually one of opportunity and often found out too late. I'm in business and I know of several instances. They especially can pull it off when no one is double-checking what they are doing and they seem like a trustworthy person or even "friend". NEVER hire a private individual to do this type of thing. Her PoA can just use BillPay through their online banking because this can be done remotely and the check goes directly to the payee with no one else involved. It's free!

I personally wouldn't do that. I'm curious what kind of bills you are paying by cheque, I haven't used one for a very long time and I know many people who don't even keep any available. As POA you could have mail redirected to your home address and write those cheques yourself, or you could set up online banking and add those payees to the account.
