The former director and owner of The Media Counsel has been found guilty on a raft of fraud charges.

49 year old Glenda Mary Wynyard was today found guilty on 11 of 13 charges laid by the Serious Fraud Office.

Among those charges were four counts of dishonestly using a document, in relation to around 1.8 million dollars of payments to media suppliers and client invoices.

Wynyard was convicted of redirecting payments that were due to her accredited agency, Aegis, to repay a debt under an invoice factoring facility.

She was also convicted of presenting cheques she knew would not be honored and for providing false and misleading information to the Print Media Accreditation Authority in order to gain accreditation.

She will be sentenced next month.
