The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York had over one  million dollars stolen from then over a period of seven years. "Anita Collins, 67, had been previously convicted of grand larceny in one case and had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in another case, but the archdiocese said it did not know of those legal troubles when she was hired" (Par. 2). For some reason The Catholic Archdiocese did not practice running a background check on its employees which led to this occurrence. Checks of $2500 or less did not require approvement from superiors which also allowed Anita to accomplish this task. The case has not been settled yet. This event has also come at a time when the organization is closing churches and schools due to a lack of money and is requesting 15 Million a year in charity. Bad timing.
