Do You Suspect a Business Partner of Theft in San Diego?

Do you suspect a business partner of theft in your San Diego LLC, partnership or company?  Is a co-owner or officer of the corporation stealing or abusing corporate funds or assets for personal gain?  The first and perhaps most important advice is not to confront your business partner on your own, and certainly do not express suspicions without documented evidence.  The first step when you suspect a business partner of theft is to investigate all available records including bank statements, accounting and financial records, expenses, receipts and company checks to document all income and expenses.

When you suspect a business partner of theft you want to put a stop to it as soon as possible.  This can include limitations on corporate credit and debit cards, and a call to your business banker attorney to discuss potential strategies.  You never want to tip your hand too soon, as this may provide an opportunity for the culprit to cover their tracks, or use other methods of deception.  Cash drawers should be carefully monitored, and surveillance cameras are quite affordable today.  Make sure to request detailed receipts that list every item, and the cost for each item.
