A former chief financial officer and head of human resources in the Houston office of a California-based company has been sent to prison following her conviction of mail fraud.
Noor Clements, 47, of Houston, Texas, pleaded guilty on November 15, 2021, and was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release.
As part of her plea, Clements admitted to paying herself unearned vacation and overtime pay. She also made unauthorized payments with company funds to pay her student loans, credit card, and personal vehicle bills. In addition, she used her company credit card towards personal expenses such as travel, income taxes, car repairs, and tickets to sporting events and concerts.
Clements managed all accounting functions of the office, including payroll and banking, from April 2016 to May 2018.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and IRS-Criminal Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles J. Escher prosecuted the case.
As a result of her crimes, Clements is required to pay $250,000 in restitution to her employer.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of accountability and transparency in the workplace.
