A non-profit group in West Nipissing has been defrauded of $87,000 and its former finance officer faces numerous charges. The agency called police last year when inconsistencies showed up in the financial records. When police stepped in, a forensic audit was carried out and it revealed more than $80,000 had been removed from the organization. Soon after, the agency’s finance officer was fired. A 59-year-old woman is now facing many charges including fraud and theft over $5,000, uttering forged documents, falsifying books and documents with fraudulent intent and fraudulent concealment.
