An accountant has been accused of stealing more than $700,000 from a Bethesda-based national nonprofit organization that advocates for vocational training to help the mentally and physically disabled get jobs.

Kymberli Rand was hired by the Council of State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation in 2002. According to court documents filed in Greenbelt’s federal court, she had exclusive responsibility over the organization’s finances and used that authority to steal $700,000 over the past eight years to pay off her American Express bill. At times, she also used CSAVR’s credit card to buy personal items such as food and shoes, documents said.
