What To Do If You Suspect an Employee is Stealing From Your Business

Have you ever had that gut feeling something just isn't right within your own business? After working with dozens of business owners, my recommendation to you is to ACT! It could end up saving you thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars in the long run.

Many business owners don't know where to start or what to do. So, many will do nothing. And pay the price. Others will "act" like they are doing something, but in the end they don't. Some will just turn a blind eye, because they like the employee, are afraid to confront them, or are afraid they won't be able to find a replacement for them. I see this all the time. It's baffling - at least it is for me, because it doesn't seem as though that company is going to survive financially if they continue to nothing about their bottom line getting eaten away...from the inside! Why are they even in business?

On the other hand, some business owners will make the decision to address the nagging feeling that something could be going on, and will contact a professional to assist them. I hope that's me, but in any case, they take action! Having an experienced outsider review the business operations, processes, controls and the like can be telling. Talking with the staff can be eye opening. Understanding the culture of the company is fascinating, and integral for this process. Helping our clients shape their future, craft their procedures, develop their fraud risk program, and assist them to protect their bottom line is what we strive to do. It's rewarding for the client, for me, and for my team.
