Hey everyone, Jason here from Christ IT Services,
I wanted to share a recent news story with you as a helpful reminder, especially for our churches, seniors, and small business clients. It’s a different kind of threat than a virus, but just as important for your peace of mind and financial security.
Alert: Guard Your Organization Against Internal Financial Theft
A recent case in Corpus Christi highlights the serious risk of internal financial misuse, where a trusted individual embezzled over $280,000 from their organization. This can happen when one person has unchecked control over an organization’s debit cards, bank accounts, or digital financial records, making it easy to hide personal purchases and betray trust.
Here’s What You Should Do Right Now:
Review your organization’s financial procedures and digital access immediately. Implement a “two-person rule” for all financial transactions, approvals, and reviews of bank statements and digital expense reports. Ensure that all online financial accounts use strong, unique passwords and enable multi-factor authentication for an extra layer of security where available.
If you are unsure about the security of your organization’s financial systems or need help establishing better digital oversight, give Christ IT a call immediately. We can help.
