Topic Background:

Fraud perpetrated by insiders far outstrips fraud by external criminals. And embezzlement ranks at the top of the long list of internal frauds. Even more worrisome, according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, embezzlement is the fastest growing internal fraud.

Whether it’s theft of $100 by colluding with a dishonest vendor or misappropriation of $1 million through a complex billing scheme, embezzlement damages not only the organization’s finances, but its reputation and even its long-term survival.
