Michael A. Hase’s job was to manage funds for the U.S. Agency for International Development. Instead, he directed payments — to the tune of $47,000 — into his own bank account. Hase was sentenced to 29 months in prison for theft of government property and filing a false tax return. He was also hiding money from the IRS in a Swiss bank account.

Ken Bricker, a partner at Dixon, Hughes and Goodman, discusses with The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris the signs of fraud within the workplace that managers should be aware of.
