What I do is set up billing alerts through CloudWatch. I have $25/month in personal AWS usage paid for by my company (to encourage people to learn) and I set an alert when my monthly usage has hit $20 (which just went off yesterday).
The billing and cost management page should show you which regions you are incurring costs from on an ongoing basis.
But yeah, you have to know about all of this to use it. They should probably set a default alert at about $25/month on every new account, then let you change or delete it if you want.
