minimize the impact of employee crime
If funds go missing, what recourse do you have? In general, employee dishonesty (embezzlement) coverage applies to funds stolen by:
- An elected officer, trustee, or director
- Any employee
- Any volunteer
You can minimize your exposure to embezzlement. We recommend that you:
- Require two signatures on checks
- Never pre-sign checks
- Split responsibilities so that whoever is authorized to withdraw funds is not also the person reconciling monthly statements
