Depending on the policy, it can cover losses of money or property from theft, aggravated theft, forgery, fraud or breach of trust by your employees, even unidentified ones, and third-party property in your care. Some add third-party fraud, such as counterfeiting.
Is it the same as a póliza de manejo?
They're similar. The póliza de manejo global comercial focuses on losses caused by your employees; the póliza de infidelidad y riesgos financieros usually adds losses caused by third parties. Advance payment protection is different: it belongs to surety bonds (póliza de cumplimiento).
