A Fox Guarding the Henhouse:

A story broke today where a long time bookkeeper employee for a small business was arrested for embezzling over $1,000,000 from the company. The employee was considered “family” by the company. The moral of the story is this.

  • Require two signatures for all checks
  • Require your bookkeeper to take at least one vacation per year and while on vacation have an audit done on your books; and
  • Be proactive if you are the business owner.

My experience in law enforcement, retail loss prevention and as a criminal defense attorney have conclusively shown me that once an employee steals from a company once, it becomes an addiction and the theft can be devastating. Remember, nobody cares about YOUR company as much as YOU do.
