title: Too much trust.
abstract: Many physicians hire an office manager to take over the administrative side of the practice so the physician can do what he or she does best - care for patients. But paying bills, depositing money, handling payroll, and accepting payments from patients are everyday tasks that give office managers a lot of power over a medical practice. It's crucial that physicians keep an eye on financial operations to help keep their employees honest.
