Employee theft is more common than most of us want to admit. Many ofus are trusting and assume that our employees are honest and caring andwould not ever consider taking something from the practice that doesn'tbelong to them. I think, for the most part, health care does attract honest,caring, and compassionate employees, but that doesn't relieve us from practicingpreventive financial controls and creating an environment that avoids theftand embezzlement.
