The speaker Ms. Mak Oi Leng, Partner, Head of Tax Risk & Dispute Management, KPMG Singapore,  used the Tax Risk Management Continuum as a guide to managing tax risks and referenced the findings from KPMG’s International’s 2012 survey titled “Good, Better, Best (Singapore)”. She also discussed the proactive actions to take in managing tax risks and the reactive actions that companies can take when questioned by tax authorities.

This topic was popular with the members and they better understood the importance of tax risk management through the session. “Tax is generally a difficult and dry subject. However, the speaker was able to bring forward the subject in an interesting and easy manner,” said Jacintha Lee, Senior Accountant, Technolas Singapore Pte Ltd.
