A bookkeeper defrauded her employer out of nearly £70,000 using fake invoices over four years. Gillian Wilde, 58, had worked for DXG Media since 2001, but began withdrawing funds from the company account and placing them into her personal account.
She concealed these payments from scrutiny by passing them off as payments to clients or the postage company used by the business.
Wilde, of Stockport, went on to create false invoices to further hide the thefts. The total amount stolen between June 2016 and June 2020 was £69,133.
Her offending only came to light after her boss noticed her making derogatory comments to other staff members about him, spotted her going on expensive holidays and wearing expensive clothing.
