I have a friend whose family owns a business with about fifty employees. A clerk, an office manager, a VP/Owner, and the President/Owner man the main office with regard to that business. On top of that, the President separately owns a chain of mini-warehouses (→ storage units for rent), and in the beginning, he had one more clerk in that office who solely worked on that side business.The bigger business had a great system of controls. Business data was entered into the best version of the premier accounting software; this data was received and analyzed, monthly, by the preeminent accounting firm in our city. For you bookkeeping fans, that means the books were closed and reopened every month, which is a more stringent form of checks and balances than many small businesses would use. For instance, these end-of-period adjustments might happen annually, for income tax purposes; or, quarterly.It’s germane to state that the President was not aloof in this process. He came to work every day and didn’t delegate much decisionmaking to subordinates, despite them having titles like office manager or vice-president.The smaller business — the storage unit business — did not have anything like that level of control built into its administrative and operational structure.The President intervened when new units were constructed and when delinquent renters had the property in their units auctioned off. The clerk or the VP would sign pro forma (template-style) lease agreements, and the clerk received and processed payments. — Here’s the rub.Rather than using QuickBooks, bookkeeping software that makes printing off reports easy based on data that has been entered, and — since it is set up with double-entry bookkeeping in mind — makes fudging transactions more difficult, the President just had the (accounts receivable [A/R]) clerk working in MS Excel.Every month, the spreadsheet would have the name of each tenant and how much each tenant owed. When the tenant came in and paid, the “amount due” cell was zeroed out (→ $0.00), and in printed form, it would serve as a “report” of who had paid and who was delinquent just based on who didn’t have a $0.00 next to his or her unit number.I’m not saying that someone in QuickBooks couldn’t game this system to hide theft of rental income, but it’d be more difficult. Receipt of a payment from a unit tenant should make the bank account, a current asset account, rise in amount and, correspondingly, the amount of rental income, an income account, rise by the same amount.One easily could print out a QuickReport showing how people had paid from month to month, and the likelihood of finding irregularities, in my opinion, would have been very much higher. Why the President didn’t want the clerk to use QuickBooks and instead use a 1990s technology instead, I really don’t know, but it would come back to bite him, big time.The clerk, at some point, began pocketing the cash that renters brought in and depositing only the checks. Probably, this happened over time, lest it be obvious, no matter how you recorded the A/R, that something major had happened.Whether the cash or checks were deposited in the bank, all she had to do to prevent the next month’s statement from showing delinquency (due to her embezzlement) on the renter’s account was to change the number from $X to $0.00 in her Excel spreadsheet. — That kept the renters from knowing what she was doing. Specifically, putting the cash in her purse.This went on for long enough that, by the end, the President and his son did not know exactly how much she’d stolen. They thought, at first, it was around $50,000. But, in the end, it was determined that she’d stolen more than $100,000.A few things were suspicious, maybe, about a change in her lifestyle. She had five children, and pretty soon, most of them had braces. She got a boob job (you can’t make this up). — When suspicions of her theft arose, she quit and falsified a résumé she submitted to a local dentist for employment as his new office manager. Hilariously, she got the job, but the President and his wife found out just in time to give the dentist a call.Her first ten minutes or so were her only ten minutes or so as the office manager of that dental office. The dentist took her aside and fired her upon arriving for her first shift.Due to the shabby way the President had her keeping the books for that business, it was difficult to determine what actually she’d done. As you can imagine, that made it difficult for the local district attorney to charge her with a crime, because it was unclear what crime she’d committed. They couldn’t (like with some forensic accountant’s unqualified opinion) accuse her of stealing $$$,$$$.$$. At least, not at first.Because she had embezzled so much money, she was able to retain a felony criminal attorney, who had, in the past, been the misdemeanor criminal/not-yet-district-court civil/family court judge for the county. — That meant she was able to prolong the presentation to the grand jury and, after that, and after she was formally arraigned, to negotiate a plea while her case was dropped from the docket due to continuous continuance requests.In Texas (and, in business, I know this personally, as I’ve had to file felony charges against people before), you want a plea deal to be struck, because you have, basically, and at least in this county, two options: (1) send the people to prison; you get no restitution; or, (2) the person/people get(s) probation and you get enforceable restitution.If you don’t get the court to order restitution (or the DA to request it per these rules), then your only other remedy is a civil lawsuit; and, in Texas, the law is heavily weighted in favor of debtors. Even criminally liable ones. — If you are single, you’re allowed to have one house, one car, and something akin to enough money to live on and survive on, which is a vague aspect of the statute, and probably is somewhere around $5,000 cash. If the single person has more assets than this, then you may be able to get a court to order the sheriff to seize them for you. Maybe.If the person is married, then it goes to two houses, two cars, and <blah blah blah about money> ~= $10,000+, which I assume is an amount a judge determines. Having five school-age kids with braces makes me think the number would be much higher.Needless to say, you want the person to get on felony probation; comply with that probation for the term set out; and, to pay you restitution until you are made whole again. In this case, that is — if you can determine, or otherwise agree upon an amount with the alleged party and her ex-judge attorney.After three years, she took a plea offer and agreed to reimburse, in the form of restitution, over $100,000 to her ex-employer, representing funds that she embezzled from a side business of the President of a relatively small corporation.Thankfully, she took that course, because — keeping it on the criminal docket — the state’s attorney represented the victim (i.e., there were no costs of prosecution due from the victims).That would have been very different had this gone to court in the local district court. Then, the people already out $100,000 would have had to retain their own attorney, because — since this lady had already retained an attorney, I would not consider this to be something about which you could represent yourself while still running multiple businesses).A wonderful end-of-case scenario: You lose your case. She has countersued and loses. The judge issues a take-nothing judgment and makes both parties responsible for his or her own attorneys’ fees, meaning you’re now out, at least, another $30,000.

I am NOT a qualified dentist but played chess every evening with a highly qualified Dentist who had almost 50 years of experience & was gold medalist from Nair College, Mumbai, India (something like AIIMS for dental students). He graduated in Year 1960 or so & one of the ONLY few dental surgeons in south india those times.In my anxiety to play maximum games & spend more time at chess game, I became his assistant providing quick service to his patients, helping him at his daily work & spend more time in playing chess !!! Used to play chess in between the patient visits & while waiting the local anesthesia to take effect !!! Ofcourse, he had a quite a fan following patients who themselves were chess enthusiasts.In that process, I learnt many things & solutions to dental problems.Maintain a diary of visiting patients & dental complaint & their scheduled future visits i.e. a patient visiting you on 01-Jan is asked to return after taking medicine for 7 days, make an diary entry for 7-Jan for that patientThis will give you a picture of expected patient visits & helps in managing over booking / over committmentSimilarly for the fees collected / to be collectedKeep checking your inventory of dental materialCheck & monitor cleanliness of the work area every dayKeep your “figurative templates” ready & update them with latest graphics for use in teaching the patients on dental hygiene & careIf outsourcing the denture works to an external agency, keep tracking the deliveries vis-a-vis the diary entries of patients for prompt servicesKeep some medicine given by the pharmacists companies as complimentary / free, for use to those in dire need say 1–2 days of dosage (maximum)Keep checking & updating, renewing your medical license / insurance & insurance payment collection / receipts
