Cash talks — and fraud experts are listening - Crawford Ellenbogen

Cash, including checks that are easily cashed, is the most popular target of fraud perpetrators. Once stolen, cash is virtually untraceable. But fraud experts have the expertise and tools to trace fraudulent disbursements. For example, to confirm overbilling, they might investigate accounts with no tangible deliverables and examine returned checks. To trace “ghost” employee scams, experts review employee lists, personnel files and other documents. You can help prevent cash fraud with strong internal controls.
