Each year, crime statistics show employee theft and embezzlement costing businesses and organizations billions, with new, more sensational stories appearing all too regularly in the Press. The pervasiveness of these crimes means no employer – whether for-profit, non-profit, governmental, or religious–can count itself as immune. Moreover, embezzlement and fraud also occur as insider crimes by partners, officers, and co-owners. This Seminar provides critical information for preventing and detecting fraud.

Any organization in which two or more people have access to control over any kind of asset is a potential target of insider crime. Regrettable but true, good, loyal, and trustworthy people can change their stripes for a variety of reasons. Roughly one-third of business bankruptcies are due to employee crimes. Just as cybersecurity has become an essential business activity, active prevention, detection, punishment, and (if necessary) recovery against insider crimes are equally essential.
