The
Enemy Within
Recent industry estimates indicate that nearly 80% of computer crime is
committed by “insiders,” at an estimated annual cost ranging from $100
million to as much as $1 billion. More than one-third of all companies
declaring bankruptcy last year cited that they were "stolen out of
business" by their employees.
Upper-Levels
Pose Highest Risk
Employee theft and fraud averages about $2,000 per employee each year
from your bottom line. While rank-and-file employees have opportunities
to steal relatively small amounts, executives may embezzle tens of
thousands – even millions of dollars from their employers. Could there
be a better reason to hire people worthy of your trust?
What
Questions Can You Ask?
Increasing lawsuits have made it extremely difficult, even illegal for
you to ask important questions to determine the integrity of a job
candidate. Past employers can be held liable for information they give
you. If you choose to avoid hiring suspicious candidates, can you prove
that you did not discriminate? In the absence of objective data, it is
often impossible to demonstrate that your decision was made objectively,
without regard to gender, race, age, etc.
