A Hunter woman who allegedly defrauded a Lake Macquarie business of more than $200,000 over a five year period, has had her case adjourned so discussions can be held with informants, a court has heard.

Kylee Suzanne Pryor, 50, from Cameron Park is accused of defrauding the business while working at Valley Accounting and Taxation Services (VATS) in Cardiff.

Police allege the former tax accountant transferred $201,000 into several personal accounts between 2011 and 2016.

Police allege in court documents Ms Pryor electronically transferred money from the account of Metal Steel Haulage into her own personal account.

In June 2019, police began investigating anomalies concerning the administration of a Lake Macquarie business’ account allegedly controlled by Ms Pryor.

Following extensive inquiries, she was arrested and charged last month.
