Embezzling Warning Signs
Statistically, at least 40% of all (if not more), dental practices will be the victim of employee embezzlement. Employee embezzlement has an enormous financial and operational impact on a dental practice. However, there are many signs that employee embezzlement may be taking place. 
 
Here are some of the most common warning signs of employee embezzlement: 

  • An employee is having financial difficulty
  • An employee's changes in personality
  • An employee with new found wealth
  • An employee is always first to arrive and last to leave
  • An employee who is very controlling
  • An employee who is taking work home
  • An employee who is resistant to change
  • An employee is constantly working overtime without sufficient reason
  • An employee who never takes vacation/sick/personal days
  • An increase in past due accounts or a decrease in collections
  • Co-worker complaints about a specific staff member
  • Inconsistent financial records
 
Employee embezzlement can be very difficult to discover. Therefore, it is important to look for several warning signs regarding an employee's behavior.
