A Timmins woman is facing charges after an investigation into fraudulent activity by the Timmins Police Service’s Criminal Investigations Unit.
Between February 2013 and June 2013, the accused was employed as a bookkeeper and office manager of a local not-for-profit organization. An audit conducted revealed the woman had written several cheques payable to herself and falsified entries in the organization’s accounting software. The accused also withdrew amounts of cash which were not entered into the accounting system.
The amount of money stolen from the organization is estimated at over $5,500.
Caroline MALLETTE, 34, of Timmins is charged with theft over $5000 and fraud over $5000. She was released on a promise to appear with her next court date set for December 10, 2013.
