Handling Financial & Corporate Disclosures in Singapore
A comprehensive compliance training course for managers and compliance teams covering Singapore's whistleblowing framework, financial disclosure obligations, and corporate governance responsibilities under the Prevention of Corruption Act, MAS Guidelines, and related legislation.
This course is designed for managers and compliance professionals operating within Singapore's regulatory environment. It provides an in-depth examination of the legal obligations, institutional frameworks, and practical procedures governing financial and corporate disclosures, including whistleblowing mechanisms established under the Prevention of Corruption Act (Cap. 241), the Monetary Authority of Singapore Act, MAS Guidelines on individual accountability and conduct, and the Companies Act (Cap. 50). Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the roles played by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB), the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) in enforcing disclosure and anti-corruption standards.
As the second course in a two-part Singapore compliance series, this programme builds upon foundational whistleblowing awareness and focuses specifically on the managerial and compliance team perspective. Topics include establishing and maintaining robust internal reporting channels, managing disclosures received from employees, meeting continuous disclosure obligations for listed entities, and protecting whistleblowers from retaliation. Particular attention is given to the interaction between Singapore's legal requirements and internationally recognised best-practice frameworks such as ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery Management Systems) and the Singapore Exchange (SGX) Listing Rules.
By the end of this course, participants will be equipped to design compliant internal disclosure policies, respond appropriately to reports of suspected financial misconduct or corruption, fulfil statutory reporting duties to relevant regulators, and foster a culture of ethical transparency across their organisations. Case-based scenarios and practical guidance are integrated throughout each module to support real-world application of the learning.
