Why Do We Trust So Much?
A recent article stated that a woman was caught embezzling $150,000 through the use of her company's credit cards. This company hired her as their bookkeeper even though she had stolen more than $243,000 from her previous employer. She had spent 3 years in prison for her first theft and the second company did not do a background check before hiring her.
It continues to amaze me how a company will not spend less than $200.00 for a complete background check to prevent a loss like this of over $200,000. Think of all of the time, money and aggravation it would have prevented.
Could this happen in your company?
