Is there a thief working in your office? I’m not talking about a convict wearing an orange jump suit. I’m talking about a well dressed employee who is, at this very moment, ripping you off for thousands — maybe millions — of dollars. Would you even know if your employees were committing financial fraud and embezzlement?
Corporate embezzlement and fraud are tough to spot, but the consequences can be dire. In 485 cases of corporate theft in 2010, the average embezzler stole — ready? — $17,656 per month from their employer.
