One “classic” mistake companies make: Letting the bookkeeper receive money and write...
San Antonio has had its share of bookkeepers and office managers who have been accused or admitted to stealing from their employers.
In past cases, bookkeepers were allowed to both receive money and write checks. Elam called that a “classic error” made by companies. The city was found to have failed in its oversight of the organization’s finances. In addition, no background check on Padilla was ever conducted.Padilla had a crucial job within Centro. She prepared the bills the nonprofit submitted to the city every month for expenses ranging from sidewalk cleaning to downtown research to employee salaries. After reviewing the invoices, the city would send a payment.
“Despite continued complaints of late reports and errors, the CEO and CFO at Centro did nothing,” Elam said. “It was a classic ‘What, me worry?’ moment.”In January, the longtime bookkeeper at a San Antonio law firm received an 87-month prison sentence after stealing nearly $1.7 million.On ExpressNews.com:Firm partners have said it struggled to pay back vendors that were never paid because of Scott’s stealing.
