A dishonest practice manager stole tens of thousands of pounds from the dental surgery where she worked, a court heard.
Rachael Carvell (42) is accused of fraudulently stealing £144,298 from Fosse Dental Care, Fosse Road Central, in Leicester, which involved her altering the accounts, between January 2012 and February this year.
Carvell, of Henley Road, Leicester, pleaded guilty to fraud, on the basis the amount she took was about £50,000.
Alan Murphy, prosecuting, said the actual figure had yet to be agreed with the defence and further inquiries were being made.
The Leicester Crown Court hearing was adjourned until February, for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.
Releasing her on bail, Judge Simon Hammond said: "It's a serious breach of trust.
"The court will be considering a custodial sentence."
