Detecting An Owner Who Stole from HimselfA company reported a theft, and the insurance company suspected an inside job. In the course of his forensic audit, Jim compared inventory records with bills of lading. It became apparent that these and other documentation were missing for the inventory that was alleged stolen. Other investigations detected that the alarm system had been turned off and only the most expensive items were missing, as if the thieves knew what to take. In the end, the owner of the company was accused of fraud. He had counted on benefiting from both insurance money and a tax write-off for his “losses.”
