The prosecutor then read his summary of facts to the court. Briefly, the applicant (accused) worked for Gosal Distributors Limited, between the 29th December 2003 to 18th May 2004, as a receptionist and clerk. Her duti
es include receiving orders from two salesmen, filling out the required invoices, give the same to the salesmen to deliver the goods and receive the payments, receive and tally the payments, and give the same to the company finance controller. During the 
t
ime, the applicant doctored the books, and underpaid the company by $6,652.13. She used the $6,652.13 on herself. The deceit was later discovered, and she was sacked by the company. The matter was reported to the police, and she was later charged for the 
present offence. The applica}{\f0\fs24\insrsid793167\charrsid11433025 n}{\f0\fs24\insrsid9901656\charrsid11433025 t admitted the above facts in court.
