Catherine Lambe, 63, from Burn Road in Hillsborough, County Down has been released on bail.
Mrs Lambe is further accused of false accounting and abusing her position of trust with Cameron Landscapes Ltd.
Appearing at Craigavon Court on Tuesday, Mrs Lambe pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The defendant’s husband, Norman Lambe, 66, with an address at Burn Road in Hillsborough is also accused of possessing criminal property amounting to £267,326.46 – but the defence lodged a no bill application.
He is due to appear in court again on 17 July.
