This Week's Episode

About two years after we caught our office manager stealing, a dentist friend called. He had just fired the same employee from his practice for allegedly doing the exact same thing.

So we brought back David Harris, founder of Prosperident, to figure out how this keeps happening, what we missed, and what other dentists can do to protect themselves.

In this episode:

• Why the employee who keeps telling you how honest they are should worry you

• Why the amount you think was stolen might be just a fraction of the actual loss

• The insurance claim most dentists don't realize they can make after employee theft

• Why police investigations often stall and how to present a case they can actually use

• The "super employee" red flags: first in, last out, and refusing to cross-train

• The simple financial control David says deters about 80% of would-be thieves

• Why DSOs might be more vulnerable to embezzlement than they realize
