SIA ditches Ernst & Young, picks KPMG as new external auditor

EY has been on the job for 43 years.

Singapore Airlines today revealed that it will appoint KPMG LLP as its new external auditor.

KPMG will replace Ernst & Young LLP, which has served as SIA's external auditor for 43 years since 1972.

“KPMG LLP was selected for the proposed appointment after the Audit Committee invited and evaluated competitive proposals from various audit firms. the Company confirms that there were no disagreements with the outgoing Auditor, Ernst & Young LLP, on accounting treatments within the last 12 months,” SIA said in a letter to its shareholders.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
