What is Embezzlement?

Embezzlement occurs when a person with a fiduciary duty to handle money or personal property takes the money or property for personal gain. For example, an accountant or bookkeeper may be suspected of "skimming" the books. Or, an employee may be accused of falsifying company records and funneling the proceeds to his or her personal bank accounts.
