The ICAC hearing into Eman Sharobeem has been adjourned amid concerns for her health, as the former Australian of the Year finalist claims she faked names on invoices because she was "clumsy".

Ms Sharobeem is being investigated for allegedly rorting hundreds of thousands of dollars from the NSW Government when she was in charge of two non-profit groups for disadvantaged migrant women in Sydney's west.

She is accused of submitting invoices for services that were never provided and using the money to pay for luxury cars, liposuction, furniture, clothing and goods for herself and her family.

Despite in her evidence last week denying she deliberately cut the tops off expense receipts before submitting them for reimbursement, on Monday she admitted that she doctored the receipts.

Ms Sharobeem said sometimes she did it "deliberately" and sometimes she did it in front of a busy bookkeeper.

The inquiry was shown various receipts for a fridge, a dishwasher, a cabinet and an $11,000 receipt for a beauty clinic, which Ms Sharobeem eventually admitted were all for her personal use.

But she blamed a bookkeeper for reimbursing thousands of dollars of money from the Immigrant Women's Health Service into her personal bank account for the items insisting the bookkeeper, or someone else in her office, was out to get her.

The Acting Commissioner Reginald Blanch AM QC asked why she had not noticed all the money going into her account.

"Were you not aware of it?" Mr Blanch said.

Ms Sharobeem said no, and that the bookkeeper was either trying to set her up or was incompetent.

"That's the truth," she said.

'That shows how clumsy I was'

After Ms Sharobeem's lawyer Arjun Chhabra challenged counsel assisting Ramesh Rajalingam for confusing Ms Sharobeem with his questions, she added: "I don't know which [question] … he was just bombarding me."

The inquiry was also shown invoices for fees for facilitating community workshops totalling about $100,000 over a one-year period.

The invoices contained fake names including Emma Adley and Emmy Addle.

Ms Sharobeem admitted the money was paid to her and said she may have exaggerated the hours claimed — sometimes, for example, substituting 40 hours for 20 hours.

One invoice was dated Easter Monday, another Anzac Day and one service was claimed four times for the one day.

Ms Sharobeem said the hours claimed may have been incorrect but that was because of her own major invoicing mistakes — not because she was being dishonest.

"Definitely there were mistakes … that shows how clumsy I was," she said.

Ms Sharobeem said she worked so hard she lost track of her hours over time.

"I used to work and work. The truth of the matter is I didn't keep records," she said.

"It's my fault — it's my mistake."

Ms Sharobeem said she also paid invoices in fake names to her sons — but insisted that they did do the work for which they were paid.

She said the false names were only used because she did not want other staff to know she employed her own children.

The inquiry has been adjourned due to concerns raised about Ms Sharobeem's health by her lawyer and is due to resume on June 13.
