In her fourteen years with the company, Rue would often receive checks for official expenses which she would use to pay off her personal bills. Philadelphia-based Wells Fargo employee Hassante Denise East was arrested last year on charges of fraud and identity theft. East had repeatedly withdrawn money using fraudulent checks in fifty-four of the company\u2019s bank accounts. Former J. P. Morgan and Chase employee Lawrence Obracanik wire transferred $5 million of company funds to his personal account fraudulently. Obracanik who had a gambling problem used the stolen funds to pay off his personal debt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"blog_content\">\n<h2 class=\"md_heading\">Background screening<\/h2>\n<p><span>With employees having access to a company\u2019s bank accounts, cheque books, passwords and other sensitive information,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/authbridge.com\/staging\/employee-background-verification-screening\/\" class=\"local\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>background check<\/strong><\/a><span>\u00a0are extremely important.<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span>Because of the growing number of frauds being inside jobs, the onus falls on the employer to ensure that they are hiring the right kind of person. Following a comprehensive checklist and knowing what to look for during a background check could save employers a lot of trouble, embarrassment and money in the long run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"blog_content new_blog_content\">\n<h2 class=\"md_heading\">Here are a few things you should look for before you hire someone:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Criminal records:<\/strong>\u00a0The first thing you need to be sure about is that the potential employee does not have a criminal record that has not been disclosed. A criminal record that has been kept under wraps should be handled with caution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Credit check:<\/strong>\u00a0Credit checks of employees are especially important for banks and other financial institutions. If you are going to entrust an employee with large sums of clients\u2019 money, you need to be sure that they have been able to manage their own cash well. Applicants with bad credit scores and who are constantly in debt don\u2019t make good candidates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The authenticity of information on biodata:<\/strong>\u00a0Verification of educational qualifications and past work experience is a must for two reasons- to make sure the applicant is being honest and that he or she does, in fact, have the required skills. False information on a CV is a big red flag that employers should not ignore. By taking these three points into consideration, employers can ensure that the people they are hiring are skilled, reliable and honest and forthcoming with their information. Anyone who falls short of these given criteria could prove to be a liability to the company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also read:\u00a07 Ways of Preventing Fraud: Your Essential \u2018Check\u2019 List<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"blog_content\">\n<h2 class=\"md_heading\">API integration and expediting background checks<\/h2>\n<p>To manually do a<span>\u00a0<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/authbridge.com\/staging\/employee-background-verification-screening\/\" class=\"local\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">background check<\/a><\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>on every applicant could be a long and tedious process. Manual checks could also overlook information that might have been important to the cause. A process to speed up background verification is required for the more efficient running of the company. Integrating an Application Performance Interface (API) for background verification could solve the problems that arise with manual checks. The API would serve to capture candidates\u2019 information and their consent and automatically run a verification check.<\/p>\n<p>The Automated system would immensely speed up the process and eliminate a lot of the human error. The interview and hiring process would be helped along more efficiently with the integration of an API into a company\u2019s systems. A person who is not averse to falsifying claims on their CV cannot be trusted to maintain the integrity of a company. Undisclosed past criminal records, bad credit and false representation of qualifications can all be verified by doing a background check and help eliminate undeserving candidates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An increasing number of frauds committed by a company\u2019s own employees have led to the need for more stringent\u00a0background verification. \u00a0 How employees have defrauded their companies In June 2017, 53-year-old Susan Rue pleaded guilty to defrauding her former employers Procter and Gamble of $500,000.
