Embezzlers: Working With Liars, Cheats & Thieves


Next to money laundering, embezzlement is the nation’s favorite financial crime -- and losses attributed to embezzlement are often greater than those from all other financial crimes combined. Embezzlement is often the most complicated crime to discover -- or to investigate. Embezzlement is a "people" crime, not just a document or technological crime. Embezzlement is the crime that is one of the easiest to prevent -- if you know the warning signs.

This segment presents the basic methodology and appropriate techniques for identifying potential -- and practicing -- embezzlers, and it's appropriate for employees at all organizational levels. Useful for pre-employment screening, audit work and for conducting internal investigations, these techniques focus upon the steps that an institution may take to prevent or identify these crimes. Seminar participants "become" liars, cheats and thieves during this highly interactive presentation. Examples are provided for identifying both people and processes that place the institution at risk. Among the topics to be presented are:
  • Why embezzlement is really the nation's favorite financial crime
  • A demonstration of who embezzles, how much they steal -- and why
  • The proven links between an organization's structure and its vulnerability to loss -- and the critical areas of risk
  • What motivates an embezzler, where they look for opportunities -- and why this is such a rhythmic, cyclical and predictable crime
  • The role that personal characteristics and a person's habits play in identifying potential and practicing embezzlers
  • What women embezzlers do that is different than what men do who embezzle
