Internal Theft
Some experts believe that businesses lose more to employee theft than to burglary, robbery and shoplifting combined.
The Wall Street Journal stated "Customer and guest pilferage is penny ante compared to what is being stolen by employees."
Sometimes employees only take a few items, like office supplies. Or they use company equipment, like cars or copying machines, for personal purposes. But embezzlement and pilferage can get a lot bigger. Cashiers may use "short ring ups" -- ringing up a lower price on the sales register to cover money they’ve taken from the till. Or they may overcharge customers and pocket the difference or undercharge other employees and friends. Embezzlement can go from simple overloading of expense accounts, to payments made to non-existent suppliers, to complicated juggling of the company books.
The President of a nationwide hotel and restaurant chain stated "the theft problem has reached serious proportions because our employees are stealing us blind."
