One of our fastest growing services is our forensic accounting services. When thinking of fraud, most business owners consider well-publicized examples that have occurred on a grand scale. Although those headlines have become more commonplace, it is tempting to believe fraud is confined to elaborate schemes on large targets. A recent study estimated that up to 30% of employees steal, and up to 60%
would steal if they felt they could get away with it. Chamber of Commerce survey reported that one third of business bankruptcies occurred because of employee theft. It's sobering that, often times, the people we entrust the most to handle our business will commit fraud. The reality is that businesses of all sizes and across all sectors - technology, banking, manufacturing, healthcare, public and private - all remain vulnerable to losses until requisite controls are in place. Most companies have neither the level of subject matter expertise now required to keep pace with the threat nor the trained staff to implement the protections necessary to prevent loss.
