Trusting Assistants with Access to Money I

Professional assistants are a fact of life for many executives.  This is only natural because of the constant demands of time on executives and the necessity for someone to act not only as a secretary but also as a "blocker" to intercept phone calls and emails and to schedule the executive's professional (and sometimes personal) life.

     It is not uncommon, therefore, to trust assistants with money and accounts in a business.  While many times this is convenient, if not necessary, it also leaves the executive (or "boss") in a vulnerable position should the assistant choose to act in a dishonest manner. 

We will explore this topic over the next few days.
