Employee Dishonesty example
This example of Employee Dishonesty has four employees working in collusion defrauded their employer through a faux invoicing scheme. The employees, including a senior project manager, established fictitious contractors and submitted invoices for work performed by other genuine contractors. The employees converted the invoice payments for their own use.
The situation came to a head when one of the genuine contractors commenced legal proceedings against the business for overdue payment which uncovered the dishonest faux invoice payment scheme.
