Succession Planning: Securing the Future of Your Business
Planning for the future of your business is just as important as managing its day-to-day operations.

🚨 Fake Currency Alert 🚨

Local businesses have recently reported receiving fake bills clearly marked “For Motion Picture Purposes.” These bills are not legal currency, yet they are being passed during transactions.

Please take a moment to train employees and cashiers to check bills carefully, especially larger denominations. Legitimate U.S. currency will never say “Motion Picture Use,” “Prop Money,” or similar wording.

🔎 What to look for:
• Bills marked “For Motion Picture Purposes”
• Missing security features
• Unusual paper texture or printing quality

Businesses are encouraged to refuse suspicious bills and report incidents to law enforcement.

Taking a few seconds to check bills can prevent your business from taking a loss. Please help spread the word and remind staff to stay alert.

IMPORTANT TO ALL OF THOSE WITH EMPLOYEES

If you are an employer, whether public, private, or governmental - it is becoming increasingly important to have an AI policy in place within your organization.

Artificial Intelligence is evolving quickly, and without clear guidelines, businesses can unintentionally expose themselves to risk. An AI policy helps:
• Protect your organization and its data
• Set clear expectations for employees on what AI tools can and cannot be used for
• Prevent sensitive or personal information from being uploaded or shared improperly

It’s also important to consider transparency. This isn’t about limiting innovation - it’s about using AI responsibly and protecting your organization from unnecessary liability.

If you’re not sure where to start, many of you may already know Teri Moten, a Certified AI Trainer who specializes in working with businesses. She is a great resource for guidance on AI ethics, governance, and policy development.

Don’t wait until there’s a problem—put safeguards in place now.
Call Teri R. Moten, MBA, Your Business Problem Solver, now to contract her for training needs!
