CEOs spell out reasons for support to the cause
THE Securities Investors Association (Singapore), or SIAS, is holding the 4th Singapore Corporate Governance Week (CG Week) from Nov 8 to 15. Organised by SIAS, CG Week has received endorsement and support from the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority and the Singapore Accountancy Commission as supporting organisations, and Singapore Exchange as the support exchange.
