I know nothing about Tennessee law, but the general rule is that there is--maybe this is put too strongly--"virtually always" a limit on how long after something occurs that you can bring an action in court regarding it. This means there is likely to be a limit but I can't tell you how many years it is, or what circumstances may lengthen or shorten it. Almost all civil matters have some limitation, but this is generally less true of criminal offenses. However, embezzlement, if you describe it properly, would seem to have a criminal component. Yet the damage you may have suffered from it would have to be sought to be regained in a civil suit, just as OJ Simpson was tried by the STATE for criminal acts but sued by his EX-INLAWS civilly for their damages.
