A Cambridge woman has admitted stealing at least $300,000 from her employer, the New Zealand Jersey Cattle Breeders Association.

Jennifer Taylor pleaded guilty in the Hamilton District Court today to charges of false accounting, seven charges of theft by a person in a special relationship and 14 charges of dishonestly using a document.

The 43-year-old's offending was uncovered last year and is thought to have spanned over at least seven years, which is as far as bank records go.

She will re-appear in court on the June 2 for sentencing following a restorative justice hearing.
