<div>Gary Takacs is definitely one of the brightest lights in dentistry today.  He is a coach, in-demand speaker, and the CEO of the Takacs Learning Center.</div>
<div> </div>
Gary's "Thriving Dentist Show" series of interviews is one of the best sources anywhere for dental knowledge, and he is certainly one of the best interviewers around.  Go <a href="http://www.takacslearningcenter.com/tag/david-harris/" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana,geneva,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-weight: normal; color: #fff100; text-decoration: underline;">here</a> to listen to Gary interview David.<b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #ffff00;"> </span></span></b></div>

<div>While this isn&rsquo;t the way that most articles about dental office embezzlement start, playing chess with my son taught me something important about embezzlement.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For his age, he is a decent player. He has a well-developed sense of strategy, which allows him to routinely defeat his peers. However, he has never beaten me (although I confess that he came close once last summer). My perfect record isn&rsquo;t because I am smarter than he is (objectively, the reverse is probably true) or because his strategies are deficient. I attribute my success to having the perspective and wisdom of an adult, which allows me to study his moves and discern (and counter) his strategy.</div>

<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><b>The Myth Of Prevention</b></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></span>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: #000000;"> </span>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">I continue to see articles published with titles like "Four Things You Can Do To Stop Embezzlement In Your Practice" -- in fact I saw a new one online a couple of weeks ago.  </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"><br></span></div>
<span style="color: #000000;"></span>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Many of these articles are written by someone working in the dental field but without the daily contact with embezzlement that we have.  So they write from "intuition" and recapitulate what others have written.  While these authors have the very best of intentions, they consistently make a couple of errors.</span></div>
<span style="color: #000000;"> </span>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: #000000;"> </span>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">First, they assume that what controls other types of crime will also work for embezzlement.  So people fall into what we refer to as the "hard target fallacy" where they assume that if we make it hard for a prospective thief to steal, they won't try.  This works really well, for example in deterring house burglars, because an alarm (or even the sticker that says that you have an alarm) is normally all that is needed is to convince a burglar to rob someone else instead of you. However, embezzlement is different; unlike most economic crime where the thief is able to choose his or her victim, for embezzlers the victim is pre-ordained -- it's the doctor.   So the notion that we can redirect an embezzler to an alternate victim is misguided.</span></div>
<span style="color: #000000;"> </span>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: #000000;"> </span>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Second, many pundits underestimate the motivation and creativity of embezzlers.  People embezzle to address a perceived need; sometimes it is financial, and other times it is an emotional need that causes them to steal.  </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">In either case, it is a powerful motivation, and we shouldn't expect a few minor obstacles to steer an embezzler toward honesty.  And as for creativity -- we have been at this for over 25 years and have seen hundreds of embezzlement methodologies employed, and we still encounter new ones on a regular basis.  So picture your dental practice has having hundreds of embezzlement "doors".  Thinking that locking four (or ten or fifty) of them will solve your embezzlement problem unfortunately is wishful thinking.</span></div>
<span style="color: #000000;"> </span>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: #000000;"> </span>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">I'm not suggesting that there is <b>nothing</b> that you can do; on the contrary, there are plenty of steps that you can take that will make embezzlement easier to spot, minimize its damage and facilitate the investigative process.  Our <span style="text-decoration: underline;">How to Beat Embezzlement in Your Practice</span> guide offered through our web store gives you some simple and practical tools to gain the upper hand on those who might steal from you.</span></div>
