If you suspect your company is being defrauded, you need to conduct a thorough, documented investigation to establish evidence of fraud. Your investigation may also suggest the measures you should take to stop the fraud.
If you have discovered a fraud scheme in your company, you need to take measures to collapse the scheme and to stop the bleed. You may need to change your tender process, to switch vendors, to segregate duties, or to transfer employees.
Once the scheme has been stopped, and you’re left to pick up the pieces, you will need to make some decisions. You may want to go straight to the police and report the fraud, but remember:
You may decide that civil litigation is the best way to recover your losses. The civil court process:
Fair enough. Sometimes cutting your losses and firing a guilty employee is the best course of action. But before you do so, consider the pain if you are later forced to rehire the fraudster because that employee has won an unlawful dismissal case against you. Worse yet, you might have to compensate the thief for lost wages!
