Another reason to have more than one person handling these types of positions. It should not fall on one individual, especially dealing with financials or other highly sensitive information such as personal information regarding employees. It’s called holding others accountable and fact checking. In the world of QMS, these areas are covered via the org chart.

I worked for a small regional chain of women's clothing stores. I managed one of the stores. The owner was a total jerk and deserved any bad karma that came his way. When I finally quit I told the really sweet nice man that was the controller I couldn't understand why he kept working there. I soon found out. He left for an extended vacation to a country without extradition. He had been embezzling for a decade at least, more than a million total. This was 30 years ago. His last extraction crippled the company. It had to liquidate. The owner's wife liked to live large and divorced him immediately. Got full custody of the 3 kids as daddy was now broke with no job. Sad ending.

This happened at a company I worked at in the 1970s. She was a nice lady, respected and well liked. Then one year she was off for two weeks, sick leave I think. She had exploited a flaw in the time sheet system and she processed the time sheets for her department. There was a gap between the employees submitting the time sheet, approved by their supervisors and submitted to the payroll department. She only ever worked 40 hours a week but wrote in about 8 to 10 hours of overtime every week. As much as 500 hours of overtime a year for years.

Similar story where I’m from. Embezzler was never sick and held up as example to other employees because of it. A few employees were suspicious of something but labelled as jealous and petty because they had no actual evidence. Embezzler spent money on clothes and jewellery and bought expensive gifts for anyone having babies, getting married, retiring (basically buying favour). She didn’t plan though on getting VERY sick and having to take a short period of leave. The temp in her place noted the difference in revenue and started tracking. Turns out embezzler had taken MILLIONS in the 30 or more years she had been there. The business had struggled at times but management refused to entertain that their most LOYAL employee is what was causing it.

My Father belonged to a club, the Bar Manager was well liked, the service great, prices good, he instituted a kitchen to provide a limited but good menu at good prices, this was the situation until the Bar Manager was a passenger in a serious car smash and ended up in hospital with a broken leg and broken pelvis. The Club hired a temporary manager, who, before he took over, had an external audit conducted (the club was audited each year but the incoming temp didn’t want to get accused of anything). The Auditor uncovered large scale systematic fraud, both on incoming food and booze AND receipts! Calculation was that the Bar Manager was defrauding/stealing at least $500,000.00 per year and probably a lot more.

how did she get away with embezzling for that long?? I thought companies did independent audits to ensure that didn't happen.
@davidwagner171820 күн бұрын
That is a great misconception of an independent audit. While an auditor is required to design procedure with fraud in mind, an independent audit is designed primarily to form an opinion on the fairness of the financial statements, not to detect the actual presence of fraud and certainly not to guarantee that fraud has not occurred. Only about 6% of fraud is uncovered by independent audits. The majority is reported by coworkers of the fraudster.

In the 1980s we fired a new employee for pulling that same scam. The guy got his job with amazing recommendations from his last employer, our boss was impressed and brought him in, giving him a starting wage higher than all of us, who were long time employees. Part of his trick was to stay late, claiming he'd take care of the day's receipts, as he claimed he was an accounting maven. This was before computers, when we still wrote up orders by hand, on simple printed receipts. We all smelled a rat from day one,.....but our boss, didn't see it.
