An accountant who helped his wife steal $107,800 from Curtin University with bogus invoices has been jailed for 14 months.
Matthew Peter Carter, 44, pleaded guilty to two counts of money laundering after he allowed his ex-wife to transfer money into his accounts from July 2010 to January 2011 that she had acquired by issuing false invoices to her employer.
The court heard that his ex-wife, who is yet to be sentenced for her crime, had been a business manager at Curtin University when she issued the bogus invoices in the name of a trading name owned by Carter.
Carter had initially told his wife to stop the offending but had gone on to retain $54,820 of the $107,800 illegally acquired by his wife.
