What are the best practices for depositing A/R checks  into a client's bank account on behalf of the client and paying vendor bills on behalf of a client. These areas seem to have considerable liability, but I have a client requesting that I do both. I also wonder if I were to agree to it, if I would need to have some legal agreements in place, or if it would affect my insurance in any way. Any experience or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
