Public feedback sought on amendments to Companies, LLPs Acts

The government is proposing four key amendments to transparency and beneficial ownership of companies and limited liability partnerships.

The government is seeking feedback for the amendments proposed by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) to the Companies Act and the Limited Liability Partnerships Act.

The proposed changes are set out in the draft Corporate Registers (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, composed of four key amendments related to transparency and beneficial ownership of companies and limited liability partnerships (LLPs).

These changes are meant to reduce the opportunities of misuse of corporate entities for illicit purposes such as money laundering, terrorism financing, and other threats to the integrity of the international financial system.

The public consultation documents can be accessed on the websites of the MOF, ACRA, and REACH consultation portal.

Interested parties can submit their comments via email to [email protected], using the subject line “Public Consultation on Corporate Registers (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill” until 30 July.

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.
