Disapearing Sales ? need help

[LdiJ]

This is very good advice HRZ... i will set up a meeting with the MN dept of labor and keep good copies of all records. another good point you make is the time limitations. the only other thing is... if i see this hapening, how much other things have happened? am i seeing only what i got lucky to catch?
another thought is that it is a small chance that the controller (does all accounts recievable) may be moving the money in her own pocket without the knowledge of the owner. if that were the case, the owner would probably be glad that i brough it to his attention.
it is all so risky and has so many implications... (Deep breath) i just need to get my ducks in a row.

if you can think of "ANY" other reason this may happen, then please let me know.
thank you all for the dialog and advice! this is much much better than thinking about it all while laying in bed!
Regards!

The only other thing that I can think of, is if they are moving things around for some legitimate reason. For example, if they have a high rate of bad debt, they might switch older recievables and the sales that go with them, to another account so that the owner can track that. Now, understand that I am just thinking up potentially odd scenarios off of the top of my head, but all of the possible things that could be involved here are a bit like that.

Find a single order that is missing and track it down. Was there anything special? Was it shipped? Should commission have been paid?

ANd be sure to read your contract ...and what is meant by sale ...in context of commissions .....things like back charges, collection and bad debt may or may not be charges against sales ..varies .

BTW do you have power to accept or reject orders and set prices ...if you do you have lots of practical power to sort things out ! THe person with a lot of control on business coming in has a lot of power....you need to sort out your power in your situation .
