Proving Embezzlement

In order to prove that your employee has embezzled funds, there must be four basic factors in your case. These factors are:

  • A fiduciary relationship between yourself and the employee
  • The employee must have acquired the property through the relationship
  • The employee must have taken ownership of the property or transferred the property to someone else
  • The employee’s actions were intentional

If those facts can be established, there is a good chance of holding the employee accountable for embezzlement.

Attorney Pete Patterson is an experienced business fraud and employment litigation attorney. He has the knowledge and experience to uncover instances of embezzlement even in the most complex cases.

Types Of Embezzlement

Embezzlement takes many forms. Some employees may take a significant sum of money or resources all at once, while other employees may steal small amounts of money over a long period of time. Embezzlement may involve fraudulent billing, records falsification, Ponzi schemes, payroll checks to nonexistent employees, and so on.
