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.
