Back in May, I published an article in the Wisconsin Law Journal about red flags of fraud related to employees. The article is a must-read for business owners and executives. The are often surprised to find that the common characteristics exhibited by on-the-job thieves can be found in some of THEIR employees!!!
The article covers the work habits, attitudes, and lifestyles of employees. A few of the specific red flags include:
- Unusal dedication to job
- Rationalization of poor work performance
- Instability in relationships and household
- Personal financial problems
- Substance abuse problems
For the rest of the common characteristics and an explanation of why they can be indicators of fraud, you’ll have to read the article.
