At a private school in Mpumalanga, money collected for school trips began vanishing from a locked safe in the administration office. No sign of a break-in. No tampering. Just missing funds and rising suspicion among the tight-knit staff.
School leadership contacted our team to help resolve the issue without causing public embarrassment or internal fallout.
Polygraph testing was introduced as a fair, confidential way to clear the air. Staff were cooperative and respectful throughout.
The result: one individual exhibited deception and later admitted to using the money to pay personal debts, intending to “pay it back later.” While the situation was unfortunate, the truth allowed the school to recover some funds and take decisive action.
Restoring accountability is just as important as recovering losses.
