An accounts clerk will face court later this month after an investigation into alleged fraud transactions worth more than half a million dollars.

 The alleged fraud against a law firm was reported to police at The Rocks Local Area Command earlier this month.

 It will be alleged a number of cheques were stolen from the law firm and the payee altered before being deposited into a bank account belonging to an accounts clerk.

 Following inquiries, a 48-year-old woman attended North Sydney Police Station this afternoon (Tuesday 9 August 2011) and was placed under arrest.

 She was charged with six counts of dishonestly obtaining a financial advantage by deception and granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on 30 August.
