Trusting Assistants with Acess to Money IV

Let's discuss some of the ways an assistant may use the "salami" techinque to take a piece here and a piece there and, as a result, never get noticed:

1.Using the company's credit/debit card
2.Using payments to vendors (instead of writing a check to a vendor, the assistant writes a check to herself or to a third person who will cash it for him or her)
3.  Unapproved overtime
4.  Petty cash
5.  Unauthorized use of a cell phone

None of these by and of themselves will amount to a great deal if the amount stolen from each "part" is small.  But, when they are added together, they can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars being lost every month.
