The executive assistant to the president of a home improvement company took advantage of corporate credit card and online payment accounts to embezzle $1.5 million in less than 3 years. Her job duties included arranging hotel and airline reservations for the sales team, reviewing the corporate credit card bills and recording those expenses in the books, and then authorizing payment of those bills. She had the sole authority to approve the payment of purchases up to $120,000, which was given to her by the president.
