Catholic cemetery bookkeeper sued by Vancouver archdiocese for $575,000
The bookkeeper for the Gardens of Gethsemani Catholic Cemetery in Surrey is being sued for the return of $575,000 after her employer discovered years of unauthorized payments, according to a lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver filed a notice of civil claim alleging that Marcia Terlaak wrote cheques to herself totalling at least that amount over the nine years she was operations manager for the largest Catholic cemetery in B.C., which covers 16 hectares in Surrey. Her husband, Dustin Terlaak, is named as co-defendant for his 'full knowledge and participation,' the case alleges. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

Marcia Terlaak, whose online LinkedIn account as recently as a month ago listed her as Coquitlam's cemetery supervisor, was fired from the Gardens of Gethsemani in July 2021 and received a severance. She had worked there in charge of all finances since 2009. Her role included keeping books for a second Catholic cemetery, St. Peter's in New Westminster, where she had sole signing authority. The lawsuit alleges money is also missing from its accounts. The lawsuit claims that in 2018, three years before she was let go, Terlaak stopped reconciling the bank account for St. Peter's, and in July of that year stopped recording transactions in the St. Peter's bank account. The Roman Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Vancouver, which operated both cemeteries, alleged that in August 2023 it discovered that between mid-2012 and up to May 2021, Terlaak had issued cheques from the cemetery accounts to herself, to personal credit card accounts in her name, and to other names. And it alleges she also withdrew 'unconventionally large amounts' from petty cash, and that all the unauthorized payments were for the 'personal benefit, gain and profit of herself and/or Dustin Terlaak.' The lawsuit alleges her husband's participation included 'receiving, converting, hiding and otherwise benefiting from the funds misappropriated' by her. The lawsuit claims they used the money in 2019 to purchase a Surrey property in Panorama Ridge, selling it, and then buying a White Rock condo on North Bluff Road, where they still live. The four-bedroom, 3,550-sq.-ft. Panorama Ridge property was listed on a realtor's website this week for $1.3 million. The two-bedroom, 1,710-sq.-ft. White Rock condo was purchased for $775,000, according to an online real estate website. The lawsuit said the cemeteries have suffered damages, losses and expenses because of the fraud, including loss of use of the funds and the cost of investigating. They are seeking an order that the Terlaaks pay all the money back to them, plus aggravated and punitive damages. The lawsuit asked the court to place a certificate of pending litigation against the White Rock condo and place all of the couple's other personal property, including proceeds from the sale of the Surrey property, furniture, household items, jewelry, any vehicles and any other real estate into a 'substantive constructive trust.' The Terlaaks 'do not have the ability to personally pay an award of damages equal to the funds' lost by the cemeteries, it said. None of the allegations have been proven in court. Messages left with the Terlaaks were not returned on Tuesday. The cemeteries' lawyer declined to comment. It's not surprising fraud can continue for years at not-for-profits where there are not usually enough employees to ensure separation of duties, such as having the same person responsible for recording, custody and authorizing of funds, said Michael Favere-Marchesi, associate accounting professor at Simon Fraser University's Beedie School of Business. Favere-Marchesi, commenting previously on a case of an employee being accused of stealing from the City of Surrey and not on the cemeteries lawsuit, said this type of individual-worker fraud is also more common in the public than the private sector, where owners have to answer to shareholders where there are internal control systems. 'When there are weaknesses in those systems, it is not unusual for fraud to happen for long periods of time before they're discovered,' he said. And fraud is easier if one person is responsible for all finances because with two or more people, 'to commit a crime, you would need collusion,' he said. Also, employees who handle finances need to be properly assessed for the 'triangle of fraud' characteristics — that is, did they have motivation, opportunity and rationalization to be able to steal funds, he said. Motivation would include anyone who lived beyond their means, for instance, and should be flagged, he said. slazaruk@
