The Insidious Nature of Financial Crimes in Parishes
Financial crimes, including embezzlement and theft, have been occurring in various parishes and dioceses, with some individuals stealing substantial amounts over extended periods. These crimes often go undetected for quite some time due to a prevailing attitude that 'it couldn't happen here,' leading to a lack of vigilance and compliance. The cases in Florida serve as examples of financial mismanagement and the need for more robust internal controls and accountability measures to prevent such offenses.
