In most situations today, businesses routinely entrust their day-to-day activities to their employees. Unfortunately, there are times where those same trusted employees take advantage of their company’s trust. Businesses suffer financial losses from computer fraud, check forgery, and what they call creative accounting practices that were done by their employees. Also, with the way that technology has progressed these days, it is getting easier and easier for employees to commit fraud against their companies. The sad thing is even with all your company’s strong efforts to have internal controls and auditing procedures in place, if an employee is determined enough, they will find a way to steal from your company.
Acquiring an Arizona Fidelity/Crime Insurance Policy will protect your company from loss of inventory, securities, or money resulting from a crime. Some of the most common Fidelity/Crime Insurance claims allege the following:
- Computer fraud
