dollars a year, according to the National Retail Federation

Causes higher prices due to need to pay for security personnel, cover inventory shortage, and install theft prevention systems

accounting techniques by management Also due to employee theft and shrinkage Can be prevented with loss prevention

training, and the use of an anonymous way to report those suspected of it
