State Audit Alleges Part-Time Employee Defrauded State Board, Omaha Company

(Lincoln, NE) -- Nebraska's State Auditor says a part-time government employee defrauded a state agency and an Omaha company by inflating his work hours.

An audit alleges the executive director of the Nebraska Abstracters Board collected over $20,700 in unearned pay, often while also working a full-time private sector job. According to the report, the man's timesheets falsely showed him working eight hours a day, seven days a week, for 140 consecutive days.

The audit also alleges the man claimed work hours for the state board while on a trip to Disneyland and details over $26,000 in fraudulent company credit card use.

Officials say the matter is now under investigation by the Nebraska State Patrol.
