Answer:

He suspected he was on the verge of being caught, called the company's president, and confessed that he had taken the money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraud is an act of misrepresentation of facts in order to gain an unfair advantage and wrongful ownership of an asset that is not one's own.

It is the act of converting another's property to oneself through illegal activities.

In this instance Bill was depositing funds into his personal account. He eventually confessed to the fraud.

A statement review of the customer account would have easily uncovered the fraud committed.
