Timothy Ferris, 46, is accused of defrauding his former employer of nearly $300,000.
Timothy Ferris, 46, has pleaded not guilty to 15 charges through his lawyer. The charges relate to Driveline Services Australia, a Dubbo business that supplies auto parts.
Court documents allege Ferris issued fake invoices listing his own bank details, not the company's. The charges include six counts of using a false document to gain money, and five of embezzling more than $5,000 from an employer.
Police began investigating in March 2023, and the alleged losses happened over two years and two months. Ferris was arrested in Wollongong last month and granted conditional bail.
The next court date is December 3 at Dubbo Local Court.
