    THE Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (Isca) aims to host a forum for international players in Singapore in November 2025, under its plans to position the Republic as a global accounting hub.

    The inaugural World Accountancy Forum, which will run for three days, aims to bring together 3,000 business and accounting leaders from across the world to discuss critical, emerging issues such as technology and sustainability.

    About half the attendees are expected to be from Singapore, with the rest from up to 30 other countries.
