A Greater Manchester school finance manager who stole £46,000 of dinner money has been jailed.
Jacqueline Robb, 54 and from Audenshaw, was jailed at Manchester Crown Court yesterday, 6 July, for ten months for theft after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing.
She had been employed as Finance Manager at a school in Openshaw since April 2009.
In December 2016, the school was subjected to an audit of cash handling which was being carried out at a number of randomly chosen schools across Manchester.
The audit included the review of the school meals income and it identified an instance where one week’s cash income of £951.90 had been recorded as received by the school but was not reflected in the school’s bank account.
An extended audit covered a four-and-a-half year period, going back as far as April 2012 and identified a deficit of around £10,000 per annum missing from the school bank account.
The investigation identified a total loss to the school between 27 April 2012 and 16 December 2016 of £46,011, which had been used to fund Robb’s holidays, wardrobe and lifestyle.
