A definition of "embezzlement" cannot be found in the common law because it was not a crime at common law.... It has been authoritatively said that "embezzlement, "when defined in a general way―without application to a particular class, such as clerks, servants or other employees―is said to be the fraudulent appropriation or conversion of the property or goods of another by one who has the rightful possession of them or who is entrusted with their possession at the time of the conversion. 2, record 1, English, - embezzlement

El desfalco puede cometerse por medio de diversas manipulaciones; en ventas de mostrador, en cobranzas de cuentas a cargo de clientes, falsificando comprobantes de pago o disponiendo de mercancías del almacén, etcétera. No obstante que los auditores profesionales llevan a cabo investigaciones con las que pueden descubrir desfalcos, la detección de éstos es ya un objetivo importante en una auditoría. Los sistemas modernos de control interno funcionan principalmente para evitar que se cometan desfalcos y otros fraudes y que la responsabilidad sobre la comisión de éstos recae sobre la dirección de las empresas. 3, record 1, Spanish, - malversaci%C3%B3n
