  • Stephanie Stohon Five steps to ward off business fraud

    Business fraud is everywhere. It can range from employees pilfering small items from the office to embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars. And crimes may be committed by anyone from the lowest-paid clerk to a longtime officer.

    In April 2010, General Motors Chairman Ed Whitacre announced that GM would pay back $8.1 billion in government loans. It was greeted by cheers from employees and no doubt from U.S. treasury officers as well. Of course, much of the $52 billion loaned to General Motors by the federal government – and the $1.4 billion loaned to General Motors by the Canadian government – has been converted to stock, which you and I as taxpayers own. This may be a good investment, for it appears that General Motors has learned its lesson.
