The most important thing to know about any business financial fraud is that it's not just the thief who is at risk. In fact, the whole company may be at risk if it doesn't do something to stop it.

What's more, you can't always trust what your employees tell you. You need to know the truth, and you need to make sure that they're telling you the truth. You need to be able to verify what they say and catch them in a lie if possible.

If this sounds like too much work for your small business, there are other things you can do to protect yourself against business financial fraud:

Educate yourself about business financial fraud. Read up on how it works and how it affects your company. Books like The Big Lie by John Norris are good starting points for learning about this kind of crime and how to prevent it from happening in your own business or organization.
