Preventing and Detecting Employee Theft and Embezzlement: A Practical Guide
By Stephen Pedneault
Small business owners are no strangers to employee theft and embezzlement. When it happens it can mean the difference between business continuity or liquidation. It is therefore very important that small business owners become familiar with the types of fraud exposures and ways to protect themselves. The author's captures his more than 20 years of experience in working with clients and consulting on employment-related issues. He begins with an introduction on hiring the right employees. This would include doing background checks and more. The following chapters provide guidance on all the areas of financial operations with checklists, case studies and excellent material to build a detection and prevention program. Internal auditors should include this publication in their professional library as it provides sound advice written in plain English that can be easily communicated to clients and management.
