A woman (33) is awaiting sentencing by the Alex Magistrates’ Court for a case of fraud.
The court heard that Tanjana Vukolcic, who pleaded guilty to the charge, defrauded her employers, a Rivonia-based marketing company of R1.2 million between 2011 and 2014 when she was employed as the financial manager.
She wrote and deposited fraudulent company cheques as payment to service providers for fictitious services, and deposited them into an account in her name. The crime was detected by another financial officer conducting a routine internal audit of the books after the accused had left the company.
She was arrested for the offence and given bail pending sentencing on 20 October.
