SINGAPORE: A former finance manager was jailed 20 months, Wednesday, for cheating her logistics company and its subsidiary of nearly S$200,000.
Koh Siew Hui, 34, who was from Premier G & U Logistics, committed the offences between June and September, last year.
The slim and petite woman pleaded guilty to six charges of cheating while 25 others were taken into consideration.
Koh had deceived her company into issuing her cheques after she claimed they were for payment of duties to various companies, including law firms and for IT services.
The mother-of-two then converted the money, which amounted to between S$5,000 and S$47,000 each time, for her own use.
She was also convicted of forging the company's cheques and later depositing the money into her personal and family members' accounts.
She has since made full restitution to the company.
She could have been jailed up to 10 years and fined for each charge.
