Embezzlement is a type of financial fraud and can vary in the nature of the crime and how complex it is to manage. It’s the act of withholding assets for the purpose of conversion (theft) of such assets by one or more persons to whom the assets were entrusted, either to be held or to be used for specific purposes.

Embezzlement is typically a premeditated crime, performed methodically, with precautions that conceal the criminal conversion of the property, which occurs without the knowledge or consent of the affected entity. The act is usually committed over the course of time as not to draw any attention or red flags to the offense.
