This month, Prosperident celebrates a major milestone. Thirty years ago, our founder, David Harris, started us on our path of providing specialized services to dentists. A lot has changed since then (including our name -- we didn't become Prosperident until 2006), but the basic principles David established in 1989 still govern us. We look forward to the next thirty years!

"My Day-end Report Balances to my Deposit, so I Must Be Safe From Embezzlement”
Not true.
At the core of your practice management software is a concept called “double-entry accounting”. This means that a transaction mandatorily affects two different “accounts” maintained by your software.

Something to Talk About...

I love summer; I always have. I love the way that life slows down just a bit. There is a historic cemetery across the street from our Head Office. Most of the time I just pass by without giving it a thought.
But last week, on a particularly sunny day, I took a few minutes to explore. A plaque told me that 12,000 of my city's first citizens are buried there, and that less than 10% of their graves are marked.
In this bucolic place, it was easy to feel a sense of history, and to be able to imagine the voices of these early settlers and the noise that their shoes made on cobblestoned streets.
Prosperident's 30-year history is insignificant in comparison, but I am also conscious of how much has changed since 1989 in our world, from investigating "pegboard" offices, to working with those clunky computer systems that replaced them, to the way the internet has revolutionized what we do. It's been a thoroughly amazing three decades, and I'm proud to have been a part of it and privileged to be able to serve your noble profession.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
David Harris

How do Serial Embezzlers Get Hired?
|
This is Unique Wells, although she has used other names. She is currently looking for work in Nevada and Arizona. She has a lengthy criminal record, and several former employers report missing money. You can read about Unique in our Hall of Shame HERE.
Also, you can see her resume, and learn to spot some red flags from it HERE. |
I just hired someone and then got notice that their wages are garnished. Should I fire them?What You'll Learn- Hear CPA and former NYPD Lieutenant Craig Cody interview David Harris about how Prosperident caught Colorado embezzler Layla Masset.
- Meet serial embezzler Unique Wells and learn to spot the red flags on her resume before you hire someone like her.
- Find out whether a new employee’s wage garnishment is a red flag worth investigating before you decide to fire them.
- Get David Harris’s reflections on Prosperident’s 30th anniversary and see where the team is speaking next.
It isn’t necessarily an issue, but requires a bit more investigation.
Garnishees can come from a lot of different things — unpaid parking tickets might be an example of something causing a garnishee where there might not be an employment implication. It could also be a financial dispute with an ex-spouse. It could also be an unpaid fine for a criminal conviction, which is obviously more concerning.
It is important for the dentist to understand WHY the employee’s wages are being seized,

Something to Talk About... |

As I write this at the end of August, kids are back to school or about to be, and Labor Day is rushing at us. Summer, that pleasant interruption to our regular routines, is almost over.
So for most of us, this time of the year is one where we turn our focus back to our business.
We had a fairly busy summer at Prosperident. In June we brought our entire team to our head office for meetings, and in August we celebrated our 30th anniversary in business.
And lighter clinical schedules allowed more than a few dentists the time to give us a call to discuss concerns about their practices.
I hope that you aren't in that position, but if you are, we are always available to listen, and to offer our knowledge and experience without judgement. The ways to reach us are HERE.
It's been an honor and a privilege to have been a trusted advisor to the dental profession for the past three decades, and my team and I very much look forward to serving you in future.
David Harris
