A fraudster who siphoned more than $100,000 out of a charitable trust using a fake company has admitted 17 counts of using forged documents.
Frances Katrina Edmonds worked for the Te Kohanga Reo Trust between 2007 and 2016, the police prosecutor told the Wellington District Court this morning.
Part of what the trust did was provide a medical scheme for students, the prosecutor said.
In December 2014, Edmonds set up a new payee for the trust, a fictitious company named J R Chartwell Ltd.
She then put through invoices for medical products, costing thousands of dollars.
