Any good audit looming in the daily activities, monthly balance sheet information and the actual annual audit should dissuade the temptation to pilfer. “Also, bonding” of employees is another tool in the tool box along with background checks. Finally, a review of employee credit reports can give a good picture of how trustworthy people are. If they aren’t paying their bills then they become highly suspect for on the job reliability when handling money.

I just don’t understand this publication.

Also, how do I figure out what city I live in? Who is this Bernie Sanders guy? Will he give me as much free stuff as Obama?

What is the solution? Who puts controls in place? Is public out-cry needed, pressure upon Legislators? What?

If you leave it open long enough eventually someone will walk through that door thinking they will never be caught.

This same thing happened at the Vehicle License Office in Canyon County a few years back, the losses amounted to over $300k before it was caught by one of the very people stealing money from the DMV office.

Good internal accounting controls over public money will deter those who are tempted to misappropriate public or private monies.

Thanks for covering this and other stories…
