What you do is get people you do joint ventures with in a habit where you are reviewing their books with them on at least a monthly basis.

And...you want to start doing that upfront, before you sign any agreements or contracts.

That way, if they have that expectation where they know you're going to be combing the books with them every month, the chances of them trying to "cook the books" go way down.

In fact, in order to pull off cheating you, they will have to get real creative with the books and will most likely not be worth the time, effort and risk.
