I was at a client site today. A few months ago, they got a new head bookkeeper. I was working with the new bookkeeper, when he shared with me that his predecessor had been stealing from the company. He said she took about $150,000 in total.
This is rather ironic situation. This bookkeeper replaced one that was ALSO stealing from the company. The previous bookkeeper stole nearly $1 million over ten years.
I could never understand why one would steal from their employer. Such activity is high-risk activity. To risk that much, you’d have to steal a lot of money to make it worth your while. However, you can’t hide stealing lots of money. So the whole situation becomes illogical.
