If the embezzled amount is large, you can utilize forensic accounting techniques to determine where the funds were diverted. Forensic accountants use advanced data analytics tools and specialized methods to uncover discrepancies, patterns or anomalies in financial documentation. There are various legal and ethical techniques businesses can utilize to locate missing subordinates, such as working with law enforcement agencies or engaging the services of a private detective firm. You may also want to consult with an employment attorney on what legal recourses may be available in this particular situation.

There are several techniques which can be used to find out the truth. This could include investigations by the police, a professional private investigator or an external auditor; using forensic methods such as checking bank records and CCTV footage; and taking polygraph (lie detector) tests. Furthermore, one should consult with HR experts to investigate employment and payroll issues such as bonus payments or unauthorised overtime which could explain where the money went.
