Would point out the discrepancy to your employers and leave them to sort it out.


Once worked in an office where I did some of the accounts, was called in by my immediate boss and the team manager. My boss had discovered some mistakes in other accounts going back some years. The three of us had to stay behind and look at a dozen or so account books and check all the receipts. We found that some receipts had been photocopied and duplicated by the woman who dealt with the minor accounts. She was arrested and when police checked her flat they found thousands of pounds of clothing still in their original bags with receipts - she had stolen around ?15k over a period of 3/4 years.

My 2 superiors had to face an internal investigation and were hauled over the coals for not spot checking all receipts against accounts. They were held responsible for the loss as failed to do a detailed audit.


I was later asked to act as head of department whilst my senior took 6 months leave - I was petrified that I could easily make a mistake and always double checked every transaction. When my boss returned from leave our team manager advised that I had been dealing with a million pound budget, he had not told me before I acted up as he knew that it would terrify me, He stated that since I dealt with over 18 different accounts from Petty cash to wages I would not have the time to add up every single bank reconcilation to come to an overall budget for the team. Needless to say - I have never taken another job which involves accounts.

I wouldn't be too surprised if the company already knows about it.

However, if it were your company, you would like to think that if someone had

stumbled upon alleged embezzlement, then at least it would be brought to your attention.

Yes, you should highlight it using Mick Mac's opening line "I'm sure there is a reasonable......etc ".

Why is highlighting a possible theft spiteful and bitter?


This is a family company in an economic downturn that may need the money - there's no evidence the employee who has been alleged to have created irregularities is part of that family?


If there is a theft it may put the company out of business, and the family on the streets. It may cost many people their jobs.


How could highlighting a possible theft be spiteful and bitter unless you thought stealing from an employer was okay?

LOL MP....but H is absolutely right....if one person steals, someone else is paying for it and for a small business it could be the difference between success and failure. If I owned that buainess I would want to know. For something to be spiteful and bitter the 'medic' needs to be either gaining or avenging something by it. He is doing neither.

Alan.. you're leaving in a month and it doesn't even sound like it was a proper job anyway.


Go out in a blaze of glory and unmask the thief at your leaving drinks, delivering your evidence with pre-prepared powerpoint presentation underscored by a pulsing dark techno soundtrack.

Yes, yes... ignore ALL the other advice and do this. And film it.

Now it's like an episode of Tales of the Unexpected and AM will turn out to be the only one NOT fiddling the company. When the bosses find out they will stab him with an invoice-spike and burn him at the stake/novelty--70s-hatstand


Mwahahahahahah!

Make sure it's in the UP position when at work/cooking the books.


( oh Alan, you are in Schitzer Stra?e )

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
