—Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed December 4, 1991, which ruled that claimant was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because she voluntarily left her employment without good cause.
Claimant worked for the employer as its financial officer until November 7, 1990. According to the employer’s representatives, on November 6, 1990 claimant was observed by a member of the employer’s internal monitoring and budget committee removing old records from storage and making an unusually large number of photocopies. She was also seen leaving that night with a briefcase and two shopping bags "full of something”. Upon being informed of claimant’s conduct, the employer’s president told an outside auditor to give claimant a three-day paid leave of absence while the employer conducted an internal audit. When she was advised of the leave on November 7, 1990, claimant got "very, very angry”, refused it and announced that she would not be coming back. She removed all of her personal effects from her office and left.
