          operating account and the client trust account.  After the office           
          manager was fired, it was the law firm’s office procedure to give           
          client checks directly to petitioner.                                       
               Petitioner never informed her employees that checks made               
          payable to the law firm were deposited into accounts other than             
          the general operating account or the client trust account.                  
          Employees of the law firm would not be aware of checks (income)             
          that were not deposited into the general operating account or               
          client trust account.                                                       
          Records Sent to Mr. Reiter’s Office                                         
               Petitioner instructed her employees to contact Mr. Reiter to           
          learn what documents he wanted sent to him monthly.  Mr. Reiter             
          made a list of items to be sent to his office monthly.                      
          Petitioner knew what was on this list and that the client trust             
          account register was not sent to Mr. Reiter.  Petitioner told her           
          employees what items to send to Mr. Reiter on a monthly basis.              
               During the years in issue, each month Mr. Reiter’s office              
          received a manilla envelope from the law firm containing the law            
          firm’s banking and bookkeeping records for the past month (the              
          monthly envelope).  The records contained inside the monthly                
          envelopes ordinarily consisted of the following:  (1) The monthly           
          statement, the check stubs, the canceled checks, and a                      
          handwritten list (schedule) of all deposits for the month for the           
          general operating account; and (2) the monthly statement and the
