State audit shows former Conway city clerk embezzled thousands

January 18, 2012 By Matt Kelley

An audit shows the former city clerk in the small western Iowa town of Conway was responsible for over $32,000 in embezzled or misused funds. State Auditor David Vaudt said Nicole Paul literally drained the city’s bank account.

“In fact, the investigation started because the city received a call from the bank that they had insufficient funds to clear a check that was written on the city’s account,” Vaudt said. “Thirty-two-thousand dollars for a small city of approximately 40 people is a big impact.”

The report states Paul confessed that she embezzled around $21,000 by writing checks to herself. The audit covered a nearly eight year period between October 2002 and March 2011 — when Paul was fired.

 A copy of the auditor’s report has been filed with the Taylor County Attorney’s office and other state and local agencies for consideration of possible charges in the case.
