| ...skimming. and not just the usual retail "shrinkage".... sonegação (de renda) Explanation: skimming - The act or practice of stealing a small amount of money from a company, especially over a long period of time, so that it adds up to a large amount. One example is a worker neglecting to ring up a sale and simply keeping the money. A more sophisticated example involves a banker stealing a few fractions of a cent each time a transaction occurs. Over time, this can add up to a great deal of money. Reference: http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/skimming |
