Singapore Kitchen Equipment CFO Chow Mei Ling resigns
CATALIST-LISTED Singapore Kitchen Equipment's (SKE) chief financial officer (CFO) Chow Mei Ling tendered her resignation for the role on August 8, the company said in a regulatory filing on Thursday.
She cited personal reasons, as well as her intention to pursue another career opportunity, for her resignation.
SKE's board said that it had accepted Ms Chow's resignation after it was satisfied that her stepping down would not affect the ongoing statutory audit of the company's financial statements and the continuity of its financial management.
Ms Chow's last day of employment will be August 31, following which financial controller Serine Yeo Ngen Huay will assume the role of CFO from Sept 1.
SKE noted that since her appointment a financial controller on June 3, Ms Yeo has worked with Ms Chow and undertaken all aspects of financial management at the company as well as the ongoing FY2020 statutory audit, and that the company will ensure proper handover from Ms Chow to Ms Yeo during the transition period.
The company's nominating committee reviewed Ms Yeo's experience and ability before the board approved her redesignation to CFO.
