The Embezzlement Nightmare
By Susan Gunn
“I hate calls like these,” I thought as I hung up the phone. My heart ached. Another dentist discovered his long time trusted employee had been stealing his hard earned money from the practice. It had been my fifth such call this week alone.
He alternated from being angry about the theft, to having heartache for the loss of relationship."But, she's worked for me for 18 years. How could she do something like this? I trusted her. She offered to repay me and gave me all sorts of excuses. What do I do now?"
In most practice embezzlement cases, if just a few things had been done differently, the opportunity for embezzlement to occur would have been prevented - or at the very least, made it not so easy.
