Who is doing the stealing?
People at all levels of business. Our statistics show, however, that the greatest amount of dishonesty, dollar-wise, occurs among supervisory employees and executives. It is easier to sit behind a desk and manipulate, take kickbacks and pass out confidential information than to back a truck up to a plant once a week and steal merchandise. Our firm uncovered more than 100 millions dollars’ worth of business dishonesty last year. Supervisors and executives were responsible for 60 percent of it. The trusted supervisor doesn’t have to jimmy his way into the office or blow the safe-he already has the key and the combination.
