David Harris, CFE, CPA, FCPA, CFF

David Harris, CEO of Prosperident and dentistry’s leading expert on embezzlement, has dedicated over 35 years to uncovering theft within dental practices and helping professionals safeguard their livelihoods. A master storyteller with a sharp investigative mind and a signature touch of humor, David brings the often-overlooked risk of employee theft into clear focus. His engaging presentations empower audiences with practical tools to detect fraud and strengthen financial controls—arming dentists against one of the most common threats to their success.

Safeguards any dentist can implement to drastically reduce their risk of becoming an embezzlement statistic.

More than 70% of dentists will experience employee theft during their careers — but you don’t have to be one of them.

In this engaging and eye-opening session, David Harris shares real embezzlement cases uncovered by his team to reveal how theft really happens in dental offices — and how you can prevent it. You’ll walk away with a practical, easy-to-use toolkit to safeguard your practice and your peace of mind.

David’s mix of real-world stories, sharp wit, and polished delivery makes this presentation as enter-taining as it is empowering.

Imagine David’s shock when, two weeks after he caught his first embezzler, he had an appointment at his own dentist’s office and saw her there! Serial embezzlers, and other undesirable employees are all too common in dentistry and can cause tremendous damage to a practice. David has been given a front-row seat to observe how people who should never work in dentistry get hired, and he distills that wealth of knowledge down to concrete hiring steps that a practice owner can use to find out what applicants don’t want them to know.

How to oversee the finances of a busy dental practice isn’t something that is taught in dental school or a residency. Most practice owners adopt whatever system their predecessor used without giving much thought to whether that system is effective or has been adapted to cover current methods of receiving payment.

In addition to material presented by the speaker, this program involves interactive discussion and hands-on learning.

Key learning points include the essential components of a doctor’s day-end review, the 90 minute monthly review, how to tame the “report jungle” offered by practice management software, and how to resolve discrepancies with original documents.

Let David Harris, the man who has put hundreds of dental office thieves in jail, unveil employee theft for what it is – a business risk that is all too real. With more than 35 years of experience investigating dental embezzlement, David is a master storyteller who harnesses his personal experiences (with a spicy dash of humor) in a way that both entertains and inspires his audience to take action!

David’s Mission
David’s mission to eradicate embezzlement in dental practices began inauspiciously. After some youthful misadventures that almost landed him in jail, David’s investigative abilities first shone through in military and financial environments.

How he got started...
David’s career as dentistry’s premier crime fighter started when a dentist friend asked for David’s help with a suspected embezzlement. David quickly discovered his passions; catching embezzlers, bringing them to justice, and helping dentists protect themselves from theft in their practices.

Prosperident
In solving that first case, and thousands more that followed, David cemented his reputation as the leading authority in his field and one of the most respected voices in dentistry. Prosperident, the company that he built, is the go-to resource for dentists wishing to protect themselves against embezzlement.

Experience Matters
David is a sought-after presenter for both large events and more intimate meetings, giving over fifty presentations annually. David‘s professional credentials include being accredited as a Forensic CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, and licensed Private Investigator. He is a popular subject matter expert for dental podcasts and often quoted in dental publications.
