With the help of the Public Accountants Oversight Committee (PAOC), the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) likewise keeps a watchful eye on the public accountants under the Accountants Act.
Placing such emphasis on monitoring and compliance with regulations assures the public that what they see, any given time, is a clear and unadulterated picture of a company’s financial health.

We answer your Frequently Asked Questions about audit & assurance services in Singapore:
What are the latest changes in the Singapore Companies (Amendment) Act?The Singapore Companies (Amendment) Act 2022 greatly affects the way companies will have to comply with statutory requirements, making it easier for them to do business and making company management affairs more transparent. Beginning the end of March 2022, complete implementation has been set for early 2022.
The changes governing financial statements in particular affect how long companies need to retain their documentation, the destruction of company documents, relocation for foreign companies, and the requirement for the corporate secretary to be stationed the company’s official address.
How do I choose a good auditor?The Accountants Act stipulates that only registered public accountants can act as auditor for a company. In choosing a third-party provider of audit & assurance services, make sure that your prospective auditing team meets all of ACRA’s requirements for registering public accountants.At U Ventures, we can advise you on which business structure can best suit your needs, be it a sole proprietorship, partnership or private limited company. Learn more on our Incorporation Services page.
Find out whether the auditor has undergone ACRA’s Practice Monitoring Programme (PMP), which makes sure that the requirements of the Singapore Companies Act and the SSA are met.
A good auditor should also have ample experience in conducting a wide variety of audits for companies across industries, particularly in your own. The audit & assurance provider should also be able to offer insight and advice based on the audits as to how your company’s business operations and performance may be improved.
What are some examples of Non-Statutory Audits?A non-statutory audit is one that is not required by law, although there are audits that some companies need to perform on demand. Examples of a non-statutory audit are those asked of charities when applying for grants or donations. Other examples are audits that determine the financial standing of individual traders, partnerships, and small companies, as well as clubs and associations.
Do audit exemptions apply to foreign companies?ACRA also requires foreign companies and their branches to submit audited financial statements, unless they have the approval of the Registrar to be relieved of their auditing requirements.
Are there any legal considerations if I wish to change my company’s auditor?ISCA says that if a public accountant should be asked to replace another, he has to find out whether there are any reasons for not taking over from the former auditor, such as threats to compliance or professional competence. If the public accountant is unable to get in touch with the former auditor, he has to conduct inquiries or investigations; otherwise, he is advised to refuse the offer.
In this light, it would be better to be above-board and straightforward with your reasons for wishing to replace your auditor when approaching a new, prospective auditor, and to readily provide the relevant information to the new auditor upon request.
What’s the difference between a financial audit and a forensic audit?A financial audit determines whether your company’s financial statements accurately reflect its financial standing. A forensic audit, on the other hand, determines whether fraud or asset-theft has been committed. An auditor is required to undergo special training to be able to perform forensic audits.
