I am not sure what you are asking. Are you asking what you are supposed to go as the owner? Is your partner stealing from the business? I would need to know more facts here. but if you are an owner, and have partner/employee stealing, you need to get your bookkeeper to confirm the theft occurred and then report it to the police who should do an investigation. Or youcan file a lawsuit against the person who stole for civil theft and conversion so try to get the money back without using the police. the incentive would be that the thief should return the money to avoid jail. If i didnt answer the question, please submit it again will more clarification as to the kind of buisiness and the person who stole.
