If fraud was committed, the statute of limitations may also run from the time of discovery rather than from the time of commission, but I'm not up to date on fraud statutes. I believe it would depend on what type of crime would be chargeable (fraud over a certain amount, for example), but suspect that it would depend on whether it was fraud or some other type of forgery, as well as what authority you granted her to manage your checking account.
