Established in 1963, we are the national accountancy body of Singapore with over 38,000 members around the world.

Financial reporting is no longer just about compli Financial reporting is no longer just about compliance. It shapes decisions, builds trust and signals long term value for investors and shareholders.
 
Join us at the ISCA Value Unlock Forum, supported by SGX Group , on 11 May 2026 as we launch the ISCA Strengthening Financial Reporting Taskforce, chaired by Ms Euleen Goh, ISCA Distinguished Lifetime Member and esteemed board chairman.

Expect focused conversations with senior leaders from SGX listed companies, alongside a curated “knowledge buffet” by ISCA Academy. As an Approved Training Provider under the SGX Value Unlock Programme, the Academy will showcase practical insights and learning highlights from its Value Unlock training series, designed to build capabilities in this space.

ISCA TalkTank continues to be a space to build com ISCA TalkTank continues to be a space to build communication skills in a safe and supportive setting. 

The third session was held with our Professional Accountancy (PA) Hub member, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, (CA ANZ), bringing in fresh perspectives.

 Here’s what we learnt:

🔹Think about who is in the room
Ms Samantha Chan, Acting International Leader at CA ANZ, shared: “Prepare the story, not a script”. Connection matters more than exact words and people remember how you made them feel.

🔹Find a friend and grow together
Dr Vincent Lim, CFO of A*STAR and ISCA CFO Committee member, shared how public speaking shaped his path to a CFO, where strong communication is key. Start small and practise with a friend to build confidence.

🔹Master your presence
Championing this event was ISCA Young Professionals Advisory Committee (YPAC), represented by Ms Angelique Teo, who showed that presence comes from simple gestures like a nod or a smile. Be willing to try even when public speaking feels uncomfortable.

The mantra of the night? Just say yes and figure it out later. Many took the mic for the first time including emcee Audrey Tong, YPAC member, who brought the room together with confidence and warmth.

What if a large donation isn't generosity, but str What if a large donation isn't generosity, but strategy?

Such donations could be an attempt at “white washing”, where ill-gotten gains are laundered to gain reputation, legitimacy, and support residency or business credibility. Non-profit organisations (NPO) are especially vulnerable, as many operate on trust, with limited resources and little anti-money laundering expertise.

However, more regulation is not the answer.

The real solution is capability building through: 
• proportionate due diligence
• governance frameworks, and
• awareness of red flags

This is where finance professionals can step in to strengthen controls and safeguard the charitable sector’s integrity.

Read Part 1 (https://tinyurl.com/ybfa4ptk) of this two-part series, as we first explore the NPO vulnerability paradox, while Part 2 (https://tinyurl.com/yzczvj29) expands on an NPO Risk assessment guide for charity leaders, board members and finance professionals to protect integrity.
