Singapore

ACCOUNTING and finance professionals in Singapore are far from ready for the challenges of the future, and the supporting infrastructure is just as ill-prepared, say the findings of a new study.

The study, commissioned by global professional accounting body CPA Australia in partnership with global professional services firm EY, says Singapore-based finance leaders are not prepared for future job demands that will surface amid the expected disruptions in the economy.
