Management by... trust?

(Baonghean) - I find it strange that just one cashier of a transaction office located in a district of a large bank branch can still embezzle tens of billions of dong from the transaction office. I wonder how they manage to let such serious violations happen? Honestly, I can't help but feel shocked when I see this news in the press.

- This news is shocking, to be sure. But after being informed about the loopholes in management, it is strange that there are no violations.

- What exactly?

- Well, according to initial information, the "big guys" who deposit a lot of money at this branch are mostly acquaintances. Therefore, many "big guys" have trusted and "given away" their signatures so that this cashier can complete some documents and procedures on his own. They do not think that this is an extremely inappropriate thing, because once they have the "fresh signature" of the customer, this cashier can freely use it to do whatever he wants. In fact, it has been used to create documents to withdraw money, "embezzle"... Then when "the horse is used to the old way", this cashier also forged signatures and created fake documents to withdraw a lot of money, many times... And the result is that this person is being prosecuted for the crime of "Abuse of trust to appropriate property".

- Oh, so if an officer commits a mistake, is there still a leader to manage? Is it possible that a single treasury officer can withdraw tens of billions of dong as easily as "taking money out of his pocket"?

- Ah, according to initial information, even the head of this transaction office felt that this cashier was... trustworthy. Because of trusting this cashier, he "lacked a sense of responsibility, causing serious consequences".

- Why are people so gullible? In this time when earning money is so difficult, why are people so "crazy" about it and get "swindled" so much?

- Ah, scammers always create a trustworthy cover. They buy luxury cars, build luxury houses, use expensive items to create a cover... of success. They find ways to "befriend" rich people, people with trustworthy job positions such as law enforcement...

- How difficult, if they really created such a cover, who wouldn't feel... trustworthy. And every time they feel trustworthy, they are often subjective, easygoing... in management. And every time they only manage based on trust, it's... hard not to make mistakes.

- And the lesson is?

- At all times, we must always manage according to the law, strictly comply with regulations and rules, and be extremely careful in evaluating procedural documents. No matter who, in any situation. If we manage with blind faith, bankruptcy or legal trouble is an outcome we must accept.
