Integrity tests spread as theft-cutting tool in workplaces
Jerry Pardue of Super D Drugs credits paper and pencil honesty tests with saving about 400000 dollars yearly by cutting shrinkage and reducing absenteeism and counterproductive behavior. London House and Reid Psychological Systems back the method, while skeptics note much data remains unchecked and polygraphs fade from hiring. Regulatory reviews by OTA and the APA seek to verify accuracy as firms promote tests to “select out” thieves and “select in” motivated workers.

Analysts forewarn slower loan growth and cautious new lending while refinancings and consumer lending offer steadier profits amid regulatory risks and fewer takeover fees.
