"Accountant" is perhaps an overstatement. It was a very small business (<10 employees).

The position was combination of secretary, controller, and office manager. The person did payroll, made travel arragements, paid the rent, etc. Previously, the IT admin did some of these; he was the one to notice something was wrong.

They hire a CPA service for the complicated tax stuff.

Did his business insurance not cover the loss?

Is that common? Most small business insurance I've seen is for liability, not for damage to the company by its own employees.

I am admittedly not well versed in this.

Not sure how often people purchase it, but it's called Employee Dishonesty Coverage. Well worth it for people in key financial positions.
