That sad statistic is one of the hardest to swallow for any practice owner or manager. Yet, most of the time, the thief or fraudster is one of your most trusted employees, someone who worked with you for years. You know their spouse. Your kids have played with their kids on the same soccer team since age 5. You threw their daughter a graduation party last year because the co-worker\u2019s spouse lost a job and their finances are tight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, that employee. But why? And how could you have prevented the crime?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thwarting and detecting theft or fraud requires understanding the three main factors contributing to it. In the 1950s, researchers Donald Cressey and Edwin Sutherland decided to answer the \u201cWhy?\u201d by interviewing prisoners who had committed embezzlement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of their conclusions was that all fraudsters have three things in common.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1. Rationalization<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The human mind is powerful. As a result, there are many versions of rationalization. In this case, employees:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Believe they will repay the money or return the product:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m not stealing,\u201d they think. \u201cIt\u2019s just a loan, and I will repay it.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Think the act is for the greater good:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m not keeping it. I\u2019m giving it to an animal shelter for stray cats, so what I\u2019m doing is OK. After all, this clinic has plenty of resources.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Imagine they are entitled to the money or product:<\/strong> \u201cI deserve it. I should have gotten a raise.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Whatever the reasoning, the belief is strong. For example, a veterinary technician admitted to stealing <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarybusiness.com\/trust-but-verify-to-fight-theft\/\">controlled drugs<\/a> and returned one half-empty bottle. She looked at the practice owner and asked, \u201cCan I keep my job now? I returned it, so it\u2019s OK, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2. Financial Pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people think employees feel financial pressure only when they\u2019re poor and have issues like alcoholism, gambling or drug addiction. But it also can stem from being sued or a spouse losing a job, for example. Have you heard the expression \u201cKeeping up with the Joneses\u201d? Those who live by it long for a better car than their co-worker\u2019s, want a house bigger than their sibling\u2019s or desire a vacation spot more exotic than their friends\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A survey conducted by OnePoll discovered that 1 in 3 people makes home improvements and renovations only to keep up with or impress a friend, family member or neighbor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greed and easy enrichment are other financial motivators.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>3. Opportunity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the most critical factor in fraud because committing it isn\u2019t possible without opportunity. The average fraud occurs 24 months before discovery. As a leader, you can minimize the opportunity and play a significant role in safeguarding your practice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does no opportunity mean complete protection? Hardly. But you can mitigate the risk and detect the crime early. Long-tenured employees and managers usually know where the opportunities lie and where the internal controls are weakest. That\u2019s one reason most fraudsters are experienced employees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you appreciate those three factors, you will better understand the \u201cWhy?\u201d behind embezzlement. For example, you won\u2019t panic when an employee asks for a pay advance because the utility company is about to shut off service due to nonpayment. However, making a mental note would be prudent. Think of it as a red flag that one or more of the three factors might be present.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other red flags within the practice include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mysterious cash shortages.<\/li>\n<li>More client refunds.<\/li>\n<li>Unused paid time off.<\/li>\n<li>Overly protected financial records.<\/li>\n<li>Job dissatisfaction.<\/li>\n<li>Inventory shortages.<\/li>\n<li>Unexplained financial irregularities.<\/li>\n<li>Greater employee irritability.<\/li>\n<li>Lifestyle changes.<\/li>\n<li>Refusal to transfer a job task.<\/li>\n<li>Insistence on working with a specific vendor or shipping company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hard truth is that many practice leaders are in denial. They overlook the red flags waved by long-term employees who are friends, siblings or spouses. \u201cIt won\u2019t happen to me,\u201d their inner selves say. Unfortunately, we see fraud in family-owned businesses. Spouses, siblings, childhood friends and veteran employees are the culprits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statistics show that fraud or theft impacts 9 out of 10 veterinary hospitals. If you discover financial wrongdoing in your clinic, at least one of the three factors will be present. The red flags are usually much more visible after the discovery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because veterinary clinics are so busy helping furry friends and trying to do the best for their teams and communities, they tend to overlook the subtle \u201cunimportant\u201d things. Trusted, law-abiding employees are among your most valuable assets and the keys to your success.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>LEARN MORE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can implement strong internal controls to protect your veterinary practice against embezzlement.
