Question

Consider the following assuming you have decided to do something about the embezzlement: What are the main arguments you are trying to counter.That is, what are the reasons and rationalizations you need to address

Answer 1

Although we do not know the exact scenario that the question refers to, we can still talk about the actions that we would follow in order to deal with embezzlement.

Embezzlement is a type of crime in which a person misappropriated the assets that were entrusted to him or her within a company. This is a common type of white-collar crime. It leads to the person using the assets that he is allowed to have in ways that are unintended and self-serving. There are several reasons and rationalizations that you need to address in order to deal with this problem. First, you need to be able to convince the person committing the crime that what he is doing is wrong, and falls outside of the duties that were assigned to him or her. You would need to counter arguments such as "this is better for the company" or "this is part of my duties." You also need to be able to show evidence of the fact that his or her behaviour was unlawful and selfish. Finally, you need this evidence to reach people with authority to do something about it.
