What is considered fraud or embezzlement in a company that is incorporated with two owners?

I work for a corporation that has 2 owners, one owns 99%. This owner uses the company bank account for major personal purchases such as luxuary cars, vehicles for his children, which the company pays all maintenance and insurance not to mention all family vacations are charged off on company credit cards. The latest being the withdraw of $175,000.00 to purchase a private residence. I know these are all being claimed as company expenses and not as personal income, avoiding paying taxes both ways. All being done without the knowledge of the 1% owner. The office/finance manager hides these transactions with multible journal entries.

Well this sure seems like a classic case of tax fraud, if they are taking deductions for all of these questionable expenditures.
