Healers Versus Stealers describes the never-ending desire of thieves to separate dentists from their money. Forensic CPA and private investigator David Harris peels away the mystery and misinformation surrounding embezzlement in dental practices. In the first half of this book, David profiles embezzlers in dental practices, exposes the rationalizations they use to justify what they know is wrong, shows a thief’s decision process when they decide to steal from you, and outlines some key areas of vulnerability for practices.
Then David lays out the simple, practical steps a practice owner can take to protect themselves against embezzlement, including an innovative and timesaving approach to financial oversight. This book is packed with nuggets that practice owners can put to work immediately that will help them recognize if they have an embezzlement issue and deal with it if they do.
With almost three-quarters of dentists suffering embezzlement in their careers, this book should be on every practice owner’s bookshelf.
