I have been working in a dentist office for the last 7 1/2yrs. I have witnessed almost everyday my boss (who owns his own dentist office) going into his computer, changing cash codes to paid and taking thousands of dollars out of the cash drawer so it's undetectable on deposit slips. I have personally witnessed a patient coming in and paying $2300.00 in cash for his son's ortho and no sooner did he walk out the door the Dr. came right up and took the cash, made his adjustments in the computer and was $2300.00 richer without paying taxes on it. I don't know who to contact. Everyone in the office knows that he takes the money and the receptionist and us assistants have had this conversations hundreds of times that she won't take the fall for him if he's ever caught. I just lost my job and I'm glad..It's time he gets his..After watching him not only steal money but cross contaminate people, charge people for surgical extractions that did not happen, it makes me sick..The last 2 years have been horrible and something needs done. I was afraid for my job but now there is nothing stopping me. Who do I contact to get this started and no I never wrote to many of these incidents down just a few but I know the receptionist will crack if put under pressure and everyone has witnessed this for a very long time( two of these women are truly christians and would not lie if ever ask questions. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
He's the owner. How do you know whether he puts it on his taxes or not?
My husband owns his business and he uses the cash till all the time, he also gets cash payments, but he notates it and tells his accountant. It is his salary because he doesn't get a paycheck every week like the other employees.
Mind your own business and go find a job somewhere where you won't have to watch somebody make more money than you.
You're, um - let me put this delicately - wrong. Very wrong.
It's his business, he can do what he wants with the finances. By changing the payment type on the patient transaction, he still shows revenue (which his business will pay taxes on where appropriate) and he essentially collects his profit (you know, what you operate a business for) in cash.
That's not embezzlement.
I'll echo the poster above, if you believe there were sanitary and public safety violations, you should have brought those to the appropriate authorities as soon as you saw them. Although, I doubt you actually have a clue what was happening anyway.
Exactly! Some people just don't have a clue how a business is run.

So you were complicit until it came time for you to lose your job? Little bit of a mixed bag of righteousness there.
You don't. Hiding income = evading taxes. Feel free to turn him in to the IRS fraud hotline -- you might get a cash reward if the take is high enough for the IRS to make it worth rewarding:
Honestly? I don't think you're any better than the dentist. You were just fine with him endangering people's LIVES (cross contamination) as long as you had a paycheck coming in. Now that (i'm guessing) you were FIRED, it's time for you to seek vengeance.
And you're perfectly fine being the cause of other employees probably losing their jobs.
This dude needs to be reported to the American Dental Association (same people who stamp approve your toothpaste and chewing gum), and the insurance companies that are being billed falsely.
he'll loose his license and will have to pay taxes on that money, as well as reimburse the insurance companies.
How do you know insurance companies are being billed falsely? We really know nothing of the sort.
How do you know he is also not reporting the money and paying taxes?
How will having a loose license affect anything? Loose or tight, it's a license.
He's only changing the payment codes. Under the assumption he's paying taxes on revenue recognized on a cash basis, he's made himself liable for taxes on receipts that he's flagged as paid. It doesn't sound dishonest. If it were the other way around, his accountant would catch it when he matches the paper invoices with the electronic system.
