Benson’s embezzlement
Ashley, my friend did not have to persuade me to make the decision. Getting Benson out of the company wasn’t debatable. The challenge was how to go about it. Do I go directly to Benson and work out the dissolution with him, or do I involve a third party. My friend highlighted the likely outcome in both cases. Had I decided to face Benson head-on, he could have manipulated the situation to his favor. With that possibility, it was best to get professional help. What flagged Benson’s embezzlement was the fact that he withdrew cash for personal use and recorded it as an expense instead of recording it to the drawing account. He also cashed cheques received from some clients and kept the money.
