Every business should take
steps against employee theft

{(F YOU run a business, you have
to be concerned about employee
thefts. ‘Ht seems these thefts are

of two types. The first involves an
employee forging the employer's

the payce listed. Ht then becomes #

cheques to locations of choice.

The second type involves direct
theft of cash receipts that have
been collected.

If you are the owner/operator of
your business, here are several

basic internal control procedures

bank statement delivered to you
tinopened. At this point) you
should personally examine all the
cancelled cheques in the statement
to see ta whom they were paid and
who endorsed them. This is to en-
sure that a trusted employee is not
redirecting signed cheques to a
personal bank or credit card ac-
count.

¢ You should compare the cash
deposited in the bank with the list
of cash collected, and investigate
any differences.

* Other basic controls over cash
collections include instituting pro-
