Taking a Bite Out of Crime

Crime & Employee Dishonesty Insurance for Manufacturers

Although manufacturers can experience pilferage from customers, vendors and other sources, employees account for the highest losses when taking into account offenses such as fraudulent insurance claims, unauthorized time off and theft of proprietary information. Crimes can be as simple as stealing company supplies or as complex as sophisticated financial statement fraud.  According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), the median internal fraud loss for manufacturers is $194,000. In addition, industries most commonly victimized by occupational fraud include manufacturing sectors.

Mitigating Employee Theft & Fraud

To mitigate employee theft-related losses and reduce exposures, it’s critical to implement strong internal controls. This includes not allowing the same employee to keep books, collect funds, write checks and reconcile bank accounts; arranging for monthly bank statements to be delivered unopened to the company owner for review; conducting background checks on new employees; arranging for fraud audits by outside accountants or an internal audit department; providing ethics training for employees; instituting anonymous fraud reporting mechanisms, such as hotlines; installing workplace surveillance devices; and looking for behavioral red flags including those living beyond his or her means and having financial difficulties, or having unusually close association with vendors or customers.
