Unless a person is basically a "bad egg", bending or breaking the rules is usually caused by opportunity, greed, self interest or a desire to "get square" for some reason.

Good selection processes that include thorough interviewing and reference checking backed by an appropriate personality testing strategy will go a long way toward flushing out the bad eggs.

Sound policies regarding security of information, established work practices and appropriate supervision, should ensure that security risks are minimised in the work place.

If someone actually sets out to cheat, they will probably end up cheating. Alert supervision combined with some healthy scepticism should let staff know that management is aware of who is doing what.

Damage caused to the welfare of an organisation by inappropriate behaviour of staff is not a staff problem, it is a management issue and sound management practices should be designed to hedge against the potential of the risk of any loss.

It all starts with the appropriate recruiting, induction and management strategies which form part of effective management.
