The following excerpt is from People v. Kom, 120 Misc.2d 630, 467 N.Y.S.2d 495 (N.Y. App. Term 1983):
The amount of restitution must be based upon findings of the sums actually due with appropriate allowances made for offsets or other factors which could properly reduce the total amount (People v. Thigpen, 60 A.D.2d 860, 400 N.Y.S.2d 584). In the instant case, taking into account the services actually received by the complainant, the amount of restitution should be modified as above indicated.
We have considered the other issues raised on appeal and find them to be without merit.
