You own a retail business and have begun to suspect that there is a case of internal theft, an employee who is stealing from you. There have been small amounts of cash missing, the register doesn’t always balance at the end of the day, or an item of merchandise you were sure you had yesterday can’t be found today, and there is not a record of its being sold. Things are happening that you can’t quite put your finger on, but you know you are losing profits.
How do you determine if you have a case of employee theft or fraud, and how do you determine how much there is or who is involved?
In order to stop and properly handle internal theft correctly, certain steps must be taken to protect any innocent employees from feeling suspect and to protect you and your business from liability.
If you have a suspicion, is it time to confront the employee or to launch a full blown internal investigation to find the source of you suspicions or the involvement of others? Will a confrontation cause the guilty employee to stop his actions before you have proof of his involvement?
This is the time to contact an experienced loss prevention investigator who has the skills and experience to quickly get to the bottom of your internal theft problem and to find out the depth of employee involvement using highly developed investigative analytics and interview skills and to bring the situation to a successful conclusion.
