For small groups, the EK Seneschal's policies require that the following
positions be filled: seneschal, herald, and either marshal or A&S officer.
(This is in keeping with Corpora.)  Note that exchequer is not on this list;
small groups aren't even required to fill the office.  

Kingdom law says: "If a Canton, Shire, or College does not have a separate 
Exchequer, the Seneschal of the branch is responsible for all the exchequer 
duties."  It says nothing further on the subject.  (It does require larger
groups to have an exchequer, but imposes no restrictions.)

Policy goes on to say, on the subject of the smaller groups: "You should 
avoid doubling up on offices whenever possible, although Kingdom Law 
requires you to be responsible for the exchecquer's [sic] and chatelaine's 
duties should the offices become vacant".  

Baronies are required to have an exchequer.  Policy says "...at this size of
branch, doubling should not be necessary".  It does not say doubling is
forbidden.
