How hard can be? What are methods used to prevent employee theft? Is very straight forward.
Your opening line suggested the executives of a company need to be physically present to prevent employee theft. And it was followed up my more illogical presumptions.
Other members subsequently answered you based on logical and correct assumptions about how employee theft gets addressed in the real world.

I want to know what methods they employ when they cannot "physically be there". That is what I am asking about.
Do you REALLY think the CEO, CTO, COO, and the directors of the various departments actually stand at the exits checking each employee's briefcase, and personally check off each shipment going out at the loading dock?

Have you ever actually worked for a company?

Wow, you guys are really having problems with this.
In every company,there are always insider/informers,they watch what you said,how you spend your paycheck,and in some cases,even look into your bank accounts/
If you work for a bank,it offers free checking,so there you go.
They can tell how much is your mortgage,what kind of car do you drive,where do you go for vacation,what is your wife wearing?It is no rocket science.
I used to have a neighbor who worked for a large retail company,he was promoted into marketing after 2 years,he gained a lot of insight into how the business is run,his first marketing assignment is to stand by the entrance and guess how much the customer walking into the store will be spending?
His second assignment is to go spy on the competitor,it was heavily into wholesale,then it expands into retail,so he went there and pull the shelves,examine the merchandise ,the store layout and report back,his employer starts with H,and the competitor starts with L.
The store manager makes 6 figures plus bonus,some of them were caught doing shady deals with major contractors.

There was a time with both Best Buy and Comp USA,when I bought a printer,the salesman took the printer to the cashier and I paid for it,then I placed the printer in shopping cart,there is a guy at the door,he will compare the receipt with the merchandise to make sure they agree.
If I bought a laptop and it was rung up as a scanner,he would catch it.

Sheesh.
Companies choose from a variety of well-established methods to control the various different possible forms of theft. Whether executives are physically present has NOTHING to do with it. In fact the CEO won't even know about it unless the COO comes to him and reports a problem with (for one example) inventory shrinkage, and the COO ain't gonna bother him with it until after the problem has been identified, the solution implemented, and the results documented. In a manufacturing company with a problem of inventory shrinkage, the responsibility will fall on the manager of shipping/receiving (or equivalent position) who will research what people typically do, and implement measures. That person probably reports to a GM of production, who reports to the COO who is the first executive in the chain.
I ask again, have you ever worked in an actual company, other than a fast food joint or small retail shop?
