Employee theft -- pilfering, larceny and embezzlement -- all are forms of fraud. On average, it takes 18 months for a company to catch an employee who is stealing. Most theft comes to the attention of the employer either by another employee or is discovered by accident. Every year, billions of dollars are lost by businesses to employee fraud. Small businesses are especially vulnerable to fraud and are less able to absorb a substantial loss. In fact, many small businesses must declare bankruptcy due to the theft of a single employee.
