As Yvonne has pointed out, there are pretty complex good practice issues here too. Arguably and under certain circumstances, members of the Board/ the financial director of the Board/top management could be just as accountable, if not more so.
Don't be bullied. I hear you about the small town situation, but there has to be some sympathy for the position your wife has gotten into as well.
Who is the big bad wolf here?
EDIT: I think the situation referred to in post 6 relates to where there was criminal intent on the part of the employee. From the sounds of things - a rather different situation to this one. Here, the worst charges can be gross negligence and/or failing to comply with procedure.
