KPMG auditors with SCA qualification to get 20% pay hike

They will also grant a 10-day study leave for auditors who pursue the qualification.

Accounting organization KPMG will give a 20% salary increment for its auditors who obtain the Singapore Chartered Accountant (SCA) qualification by 1 July 2020, an announcement revealed.

This move will see KPMG paying its auditors significantly above the industry benchmark.

Additionally, the firm will also grant a 10-day study leave per sitting for auditors who pursue the SCA qualification.

The company stated that the decision was made to “enhance audit quality to the benefit of the capital markets and the profession.”

Singapore managing partner Ong Pang Thye said, “This move to peg pay to enhanced qualification represents one of our largest investments in audit quality to date, and the importance we place in recognising accreditation in line with the global profession and the need to deliver greater value in our audit.”

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.
