A Brisbane accountant is up for forgery charges following an investigation by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission into the collapse of a Sydney property development company.
Keith James McCoy has appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on fourteen criminal charges.
McCoy, of Paddington in Queensland, was charged with five counts of forging cheques and nine charges of dishonestly using his position as a company officer.
The offences are alleged to have occurred between September 11, 2001 and June 12, 2003 in Brisbane.
The charges were laid after an ASIC investigation into the collapse of Blueprint Developments (Aust) Pty Ltd, a company that developed Sydney commercial properties.
Investors from Blueprint Finance Company Limited, a Brisbane-based company set up to provide mezzanine finance for the Sydney projects, suffered substantial losses as a result of the collapse of Blueprint Developments.
The matter has been adjourned for a further mention on April 20, 2007.
McCoy has been granted bail on his own undertaking.
