Overemphasis on short-term fundraising goals at the expense of adequate internal controls and accurate financial reporting Refusal to take legitimate perks such as vacation time or promotions Poorly monitored remote event or promotional locations that involve cash ticket sales or receipts Bounced checks Things don’t add up—literally Anonymous tips Employees’ lifestyle or behavior changes Missing computer hardware and software Unexplained invoices for software, hardware or services Inattention to details such as checking account balances, reconciling bank statements, spot-checking financial records and reviewing mail before it’s opened Not conducting background checks on anyone handling money A tendency, in your organization, to keep problems a secret instead of openly admitting and punishing fraudulent acts as they happen—a lack of consequences tends to invite employees to commit fraud.
