Few business problems are as painful as suspecting an employee is stealing from you. Unfortunately, embezzlement in dental practices
is all too common. ADA research has shown that 48% of dentists have already been victims of embezzlement, many of them multiple times. In fact, the MDA has received several phone calls already this year from dentists who suspected embezzlement and were seeking assistance to uncover it.
If you suspect embezzlement is occurring in your office, or if you want to set up safeguards to lessen the likelihood of it occurring, please contact Prosperident, the newest MDA-endorsed company, for guidance. Prosperident is the world’s oldest and largest firm providing dental embezzlement prevention and investigation services to general dentists and dental specialists. Prosperident’s fraud examiner teams consist of former practicing dentists, former practice managers, practice management consultants, or have backgrounds in practice management software training. And you won’t spend your time educating them about the business end of dentistry. They know it inside and out.
Prosperident is giving MDA members free access to its Embezzlement Risk Assessment Questionnaire, a $139 value.
Scan the QR code on the left and complete the questionnaire.
This will help you determine your risk of becoming an embezzlement victim and provide insight into whether it may already be happening in your practice. You may be concerned your staff will know an investigation is happening. Rest easy. Prosperident can perform stealthy investigations into your practice’s financial transactions. Your employees will not know that an investigation is taking place.
As important as identifying and stopping embezzlement is, it is equally important to take preventive actions to deter it from happening. Prosperident can help in both ways. The odds are nearly 50/50 that you will be a victim of embezzlement in the future if you don’t take preventive action now.
Contact Prosperident and find out how its highly knowledgeable team can help you identify and protect from embezzlement. MDA members receive a 6% discount on preventive and investigative services.
