Oilers Ticket Manager Accused of Theft and Fraud
Exclusive: Internal Investigation Uncovers Misappropriation of Funds
Edmonton Oilers Ticket Manager, Sarah Jones, has been accused of stealing money from the organization. An internal investigation found that Jones misappropriated over $100,000 in ticket sales revenue. She has been fired and is now facing criminal charges.
The investigation began after the Oilers noticed a discrepancy in their ticket sales records. They hired an independent accounting firm to conduct a forensic audit, which revealed that Jones had been taking money from ticket sales for her personal use.
Jones was responsible for managing the Oilers' ticket sales operation. She had access to the team's financial records and was able to manipulate them to hide her theft.
The Oilers have filed a police report and are cooperating with the investigation. Jones has been charged with theft and fraud. She is scheduled to appear in court next month.
The Oilers are still trying to determine the full extent of Jones' theft. They are also reviewing their internal controls to prevent something like this from happening again.
This is a developing story. We will provide updates as they become available.
