Firms in Singapore to contend with a host of new standards next year
[SINGAPORE] It has been an eventful year for financial reporting; the fading light of 2013 saw the release of one of the most anticipated changes in financial reporting standards - the introduction of a new model for hedge accounting. It also saw the launch of the international integrated reporting framework, heralding the global adoption of a new way of communicating with shareholders.
