Are MNCs in Singapore auditing their global offices?

Only a quarter feel confident that their overseas units are legally compliant.

Multinational companies in Singapore are struggling to stay on top of their international-based entities, with only a quarter feeling confident that they are fully compliant with local laws and regulations across all their global units, according to a report by business administration services firm TMF Group.

The report revealed that only 16% of companies have run an annual evaluation on their global entities to check if they are all adding value and operationally efficient.

Moreover, 12% have never actually undertaken a single audit of their international entities.

Of the 251 Singaporean companies polled, 30% have more than 20 legal entities across different countries and jurisdictions, whilst only 6% have more than 100.

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.
