Investigating Internal Fraud

Wayne Gladman, Fraud Risk Solutions

Dealing with employee theft and embezzlement can be a tricky and confronting issue. Wayne Gladman of Fraud Risk Solutions says it is important to secure the evidence quickly and discreetly, before it can be tampered with. Don't be tempted to play detective yourself - it can lead to even more problems. Decide on your objectives for the investigation and seek professional advice, especially if you're planning to call in the police. Recovering stolen money won't be easy, but what you know is missing may just be the tip of the iceberg.
