> How does one manage this risk?

I'm not really in a position to advice risk mitigation - I'll ask my friend if they have any retroactive advice. That said, a few words...

> And in the meantime, they could run all sorts of unauthorized charges.

I think this is something that you would speak to your bank about - at least giving them the heads-up regarding this arrangement. It should be possible to get flags set against your account encase of certain activities. I would go as far as not to tell the PA about this arrangement if possible - if they accidentally trigger an alert due to malicious activity then this could be to your advantage.

> Do you review the monthly credit card bills for a couple months, a couple years, or forever?

I would be checking all charges indefinitely, mostly concentrating on the larger substantial charges. I can't imagine such a review posing much of a burden in most cases. You'll likely find that somebody acting maliciously will become more emboldened with time.

> I assume they don't treat them the same as fraud resulting from a stolen card.

That will depend on the arrangement you have setup.

Hope that helps.
