Her duties included making bank transfers for purposes such as payments to suppliers.
In March 2019, she received an iBanking token for the charity s Standard Chartered Bank account from her colleague, Mr Cuthbert Syn.
Mr Syn had instructed her to make fund transfers between the account and the organisation s other bank accounts.
Tan continued to keep the token after that, telling Mr Syn she had forgotten to bring it to the office when he requested it back on subsequent occasions.
Between April 4 and June 10, 2019, she made 133 unauthorised transfers from the Standard Chartered account, taking about $1 million in total.
Tan would first request for funds to be transferred from the charity s DBS Bank account to the Standard Chartered one, then e-mail the three signatories of the DBS account to have them approve the transfer.
