Former mortgage adviser Natalie Carter has been sentenced to 12 months home detention for forgery and financial markets legislation offences.

Carter, a former Hawke’s Bay-based mortgage adviser has been sentenced following a criminal prosecution brought by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA).

  • Forgery (x3)
  • Obtaining credit by deception exceeding $1000 (x2)
  • Attempting to obtain credit by deception exceeding $1000 (x2) 
  • Using a forged document (x2)
  • Deceived or attempted to deceive or knowingly mislead the FMA

Judge Gordon Matenga convicted her on all charges and imposed a starting point of imprisonment, which was ultimately commuted to 12 months home detention after discounts were applied.
