I've been fascinated with how people decide to embezzle, and how they do it?

Embezzling typically requires the criminal to gain unrestricted access to an organization’s funds or assets. To execute such an heist, the perpetrator may pose as a trusted employee or may use an insider’s knowledge to gain access to restricted areas or records. In some cases, the perpetrator may forge documents and manipulate computer systems to make it seem as if the fraudulent transactions are legitimate. It also helps to have a system in place to make these transactions appear to have been approved by the authorities. Often times these transactions involve complex financial instruments that are not monitored closely. Once the fraud is set in motion, the criminal can continue to steal money for weeks, months, or even years before being detected. Additionally, some embezzlers will fabricate fake documents, invoices, or bank statements to hide their illegal activity.
