- The downloadable "Dentist Panic Checklist" PDF built around 3 goals if embezzlement is suspected: stop the theft immediately, preserve your evidence, and maximize financial recovery.
- Why searching your own practice management software (PMS) yourself is a mistake, since every query is logged in the software's audit trail, and should instead be left to a forensic investigator.
- Why you should hold off calling the police or notifying your dental insurance carriers, and why suspending (not firing) a suspected employee is the safer move until embezzlement experts are consulted.
- Guidance from author David Harris, Prosperident's CEO and a Forensic CPA/CFE/CFF who has investigated dental financial crime since 1989, on securing a cloud or offsite backup of your practice management data before a thief can destroy records.
