    ONE aspect of last week’s Singapore Corporate Awards 2023 that grabbed attention is that some companies won multiple awards within their market-cap class.

    Sing Investments & Finance won the gold awards for best managed board and best risk management, as well as the bronze award for best annual report for companies with market caps under S$300 million.

    In the same market-cap class, CSE Global took home silver awards for best risk management and best annual report.
