Anne Mullens committed embezzlement.

Explanation:

Embezzlement is defined as misappropriation of funds by someone with whom funds have been entrusted.

It is a theft as the money does not belong to the perpetrator. The perpetrator is only entrusted with funds.

One of the conditions for embezzlement is an existence of a fiduciary (trust) relationship between parties.

In the given case, Anne Mullens pocketed $57 cash from recorded amount instead of recording 57$ customer's payment via check. Instead she included the customer's check in the money to be taken to bank.

This is embezzlement of funds by Anne.
