them. One scam I heard about was done by a guy who was at a high level in his com- pany. The firm – a large company – had offices and projects around the globe. He would buy airline tickets, charge them to his personal card, and then submit them on his ex- pense report. Later he would cancel his flight and get a credit. No one knew where he was going or when. It was easier to pull this one off than you’d think. 3)Crooks as sub-consultants. There are plenty of ways sub-consultants can steal from you. The number one way is they make an end run around you to the client and do future work for the client directly, instead of through you. But other ways they can overcharge you include billing for time beyond what their contract allows, and no one catches it. The bill just gets entered and paid. Or billing you for work performed on the other guy’s project. I have personally had both geo-techs and surveyors bill me for work that was performed on someone else’s project! Their billing departments were either confused or they were run by crooks. The point of all this is be wary! There are probably more dishonest people out there than you realize. We work in a nice industry and it’s easy to be caught off guard. MARK ZWEIG is Zweig Group’s chairman and founder. Contact him at mzweig@zweiggroup.com.
