HOW TO KEEP YOUR BUSINESS SAFE
Below are several different ways to protect businesses from petty crime - internal and external theft.
1. Access control: Have control of employees entering business, purchases, receiving, inventory and stock. Be aware of what's coming in and going out.
2. Safe control: Be aware of who has access to inventory. Don't just leave inventory in a location where all employees have access. Keep it locked.
3. Shoplifting: Employees have a responsibility to protect the business from losses. Keep your eyes open and, if necessary, put in video cameras to alleviate the stress and responsibilities placed on employees to keep inventory safe.
4. Dos and Do Nots: Every business has their own internal controls. But the best line of defense is good employees will take away a lot of these issues.
5. Expected Fraud: First line of defense is bookkeepers and accountants.
Implement these points and see your bottom line grow.

FACEBOOK TOLD 'EM SO
It happens all too often.
The trip they’ve been saving for is hours away. Everything is packed and the taxi is almost there.
But what is the last thing they decide to do?
They tell the world that they’re about to leave their precious belongings for a few weeks.
Bad idea, right? But it happens too much.
Do yourself a favor. Keep your travel plans to yourself... and call Merlin.
Until next time,
