Despite the clerk being related to one of the store owners and the owner's preference to keep the matter quiet, the legal actions available to fraud examiners include: (a) the fraud examiners can still help pursue civil lawsuits against the clerk to recover the stolen suffered by the shop owner. A civil lawsuit does not include any law enforcement and does not result in a criminal fine. (b) the fraud examiners have the option to work with the clerk to negotiate a restitution agreement. This agreement would entail the clerk agreeing to reimburse the shop owners for the stolen funds or goods as a means of resolving the fraud case
