An auditor testifying in the City Harvest Church trial said that certain practices described in e-mails written by accused Serina Wee were “improper”, and mischaracterised advice he gave to the church. These include downplaying the close relationship the church had with related companies, for example by leaving out information in minutes of church meetings.
The prosecution had shown Foong Daw Ching, who has advised church members, several e-mails that Wee had written to the other five accused listing suggestions Foong purportedly gave to her about the accounting and disclosures of transactions between the church and related firms.
