Prosecutors say they will lay more than 200 charges against an accountant who allegedly embezzled $2.7 million.

Craig Dean Raneberg, 46, has faced Adelaide Magistrates Court after being extradited from Sydney.

The court heard he had flown back to Australia from Thailand after his three-month visa expired and was arrested by Federal Police at the airport when about to fly out of Australia again.

Prosecutors say they will lay an additional 203 theft charges against Raneberg.

The money outstanding from an account at Adelaide law firm Minter Ellison has been revised upward to $2.7 million.

The court heard Raneberg worked as an accountant at Minter Ellison for a decade.

Prosecutors said the money remained unaccounted for and Raneberg's assets and bank accounts had been frozen as part of a civil lawsuit.

A decision on whether Raneberg should get home detention bail will be made next week.
