Embezzlement is a form of fraud that involves misappropriation of money or property by someone who has been entrusted with it by virtue of their position or employment. Embezzlement is a white-collar crime that most commonly occurs in corporate settings. Because those who are charged with embezzlement had access, or in many cases, are expected to handle the assets they are accused of embezzling, the crime is rarely clear-cut. In some cases, a simple bookkeeping error or some oversights have the potential to lead to wrongful embezzlement charges.
