Addressing some possible types of corporate theft charges

It’s fairly common for companies in Wisconsin and across the nation to allocate certain financial responsibilities to numerous employees. Should evidence of financial discrepancies arise, investigators may wish to speak with all employees who have access to company funds and monetary transactions. In some cases, such an investigation could lead to allegations of corporate theft and knowing some of the most common examples of such behavior could prove integral to preparing to protect one’s interests.

Companies who suspect the presence of corporate theft may wish to take every possible measure to address the issues at hand and there may be various types of theft that can occur in a similar setting, some of which may include:

  • Unapproved expenses: One of the most common types of corporate theft may include a situation in which one is accused of using company funds to cover personal expenses without approval.
  • Falsification of records: Similar charges may also stem from a scenario in which a person is suspected of falsifying company financial records to conceal actions.
  • Theft of company assets: Taking company assets such as computers without authorization may also result in allegations of corporate theft.
  • Unauthorized actions: The unauthorized use of company assets or real estate holdings could also lead to suspicion of theft or fraud.

Experts indicate that altering company tax records to lessen liabilities may be another common form of corporate theft and fraud.

Being accused of corporate theft can be difficult enough as is, as such allegations could tarnish one’s reputation even if a conviction is not obtained. Those who face similar charges and wish to seek insight on their legal rights and available options could benefit from consulting with an attorney in Wisconsin prior to responding to allegations. An attorney can examine the charges and evidence against a client, provide him or her with insight on the best course of action to take, and assist in navigating every step of the subsequent process.
