EMBEZZLEMENT

Embezzlement is a white-collar crime that most commonly occurs in corporate settings. More specifically, embezzlement refers to the theft of money or property by an individual who was entrusted to handle assets owned by another party. Because those who are charged with embezzlement had access, or in many cases, are expected to handle the assets they are accused of embezzling, the crime is rarely clear-cut. Simple bookkeeping errors or oversights have the potential to lead to wrongful embezzlement charges.
