Description

Abstract: Part of the classic recipe for fraud lies in opportunity, and even with strong internal controls at auto dealerships there’s plenty of opportunity for “bad apples.” Complete background checks are one of the best ways to make sure an applicant’s job performance doesn’t later disappoint. But they need to be performed without violating privacy rights and other laws, which are always evolving. This article discusses legal factors and what to look for in a background check company, while a sidebar lists information frequently examined in background checks.
