Question Should this person be fired?

I work in a small company that is media related. Recently a front office employee was tampering with her time card which resulted in getting paid for time she was not working and for doing "overtime" hours on the weekend for a job that does not require overtime. This person handles incoming and outgoing moneys, invoices, payroll checks, and company bills and is trained and proficient in our computer systems and banking. My personal opinion is that it was unethical and selfish behaviour on her part as the company is struggling financially and it also causes me great concern due to the fact that this act has proven she is capable of behaviour that could put other moneys at risk in the company for personal gain. SHe was only given a slight reprimand for the time card tampering and her overtime has been restricted to the time she is helping the office manager at end of month. This still leaves many opportunities to take advantage of the company and it's monies 5 days a week. It seems that at the very least she should have been placed in a position in the company where she is not directly dealing with money and finances for the company.

Is there anything that I and other concerned employees can do at this point in order to either have her removed from the company or removed from a position dealing with money which provides such opportunities ?
