Swney has admitted creating false invoices to obtain money from the council-funded agency, which he ran for over ten years. The fraud involved more than $2.5 million.
He has also admitted not paying nearly $1.8 million of tax.
The 57-year-old was due to be sentenced in the Auckland District Court today but the hearing has been postponed because the sentencing judge is unwell.
