 Employee fraud is on the rise, soaring from $400 billion in lost revenue for U.S. businesses in 1996 to over $600 billion in 2003. While many organizations have implemented background checks as a requirement for employment, the majority of employees who steal-68.6 %, according to Association of Certified Fraud Examiners-have no prior criminal record.
A study conducted by the University of Florida estimates that employee theft is the cause of about 48% of inventory shrinkage in business. That's equal to more than $15 billion per year. The study goes on to estimate that the average loss cost per employee is in excess of $1,300, which is significantly higher than the cost normally attached to individual incidents of shoplifting, which is just over $207. Consequently, businesses are forced to spend a great deal of time, effort and money on loss prevention.
