HYFLUX founder and former chief executive Olivia Lum Ooi Lin on Friday (May 5) was handed three additional charges over her alleged failure to exercise reasonable diligence as a director. The charges were in relation to Hyflux’s omission to disclose some restricted bank balances.
The auditors from KPMG who handled Hyflux’s financial statements for FY2013 to FY2017 have, meanwhile, been issued orders by the Public Accountants Oversight Committee under the Accountants Act. This was announced in a joint statement issued by the police, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (Acra) on Friday.
Acra maintains oversight of the quality of work of public accountants through the Practice Monitoring Programme (PMP).
