This month, the ICPAS Breakfast Talk Series was led by Mr. Yong Jiunn Siong, a Partner in PricewaterhouseCoopers’s Risk and Controls Solutions practice. Attracting over 70 members, this talk set the scene of Corporate Governance in Singapore and how Management can achieve assurance over the adequacy of internal controls in large organizations today.

Drawing on Mr. Yong’s wealth of knowledge and experience, members took away the importance of the role the Audit Committee and Management plays in ensuring the integrity and transparency of the corporate governance process, as well as the considerable onus on them to get it right. The aspects of Risk Management and Accountability & Audit were also discussed during the session.

The monthly Breakfast Talk Series continues to provide informative and concise sessions for busy professionals to upgrade themselves and keep in touch with industry trends and standards. ICPAS Member, Mr. Hudson Teh said, “The Breakfast Talk Series is effective in terms of subject matter and time. It is easier for us to attend a session before we start work for the day than leaving after work. Keep up the good work!”
