A company director plays a vital role in overseeing the affairs of a company. Under the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore, directors owe statutory duties and legal obligations designed to promote sound corporate governance and defend the interests of the company and its stakeholders.
All of the companies, foreign companies and Limited liability partnerships (unless exempted) will be required to maintain a private RORC and file with the ACRA within the stipulated timeline. This requirement applies even if your business is dormant or undergoing winding up, striking off, receivership, or judicial management.
A statutory audit is a legally mandated examination of a company's financial statements conducted by an independent auditor. Its purpose is to ensure that financial statements present a true and fair view in accordance with applicable accounting standards, while enhancing transparency and corporate governance.
Companies operating internationally often deal with multiple currencies. Choosing the right currency to report financial results may seem like an accounting detail, but it actually affects how profits, costs, and performance are understood. This guide explains functional currency, why it matters, and how it differs from the currency you present your results in.
