William Spark, of Gordon Street, had sentence deferred for him by Sheriff Robert Frazer to pay £4000 in compensation to the mental health charity Mikeysline.
He had been convicted at Inverness Sheriff Court of the fraud by opening a bank account to take possession of the cash which was due to the charitable cause.
