When an trusted assistant makes the decision, whether consciously or unconsciously, it usually begins with what is known as the "Salami Technique." This technique involves the theft of small amounts of assets from a large number of sources without noticeably reducing the whole.
In other words, an assistant using this technique may takd $500 from the "petty cash" account which will not be noticed, take $500 from the company credit card and another $500 from false receipts. $1500.00 is, of course, a good deal of money and if this $1500.00 was taken from one account, it might be noticed. But, taking a small amount of money from one account here and another account there will noticeably reduce the chances of being caught.
