SGX asks SDAI to resolve internal control weaknesses

The report found concerns, including misuse of past fundraising proceeds.

SGX RegCo is requiring SDAI Limited to rectify internal control weaknesses arising from a Deloitte investigation.

The report found concerns, including misuse of past fundraising proceeds, suspected payroll irregularities, and purported unauthorised transactions.

Phase one of the findings on the payroll matter and unauthorised transactions had been concluded and announced last 21 July 2023.

In phase two, Deloitte noted a lack of procedures on the allocation, utilisation and reporting of the use of proceeds, resulting in late disclosures.

Deloitte noted the company reallocated placement proceeds, using 55% for working capital and just under 9% for new business, a significant shift from the previously announced 20% and 60% breakdown.

SGX RegCo will require the company to disclose material findings and remedial measures recommended by Baker Tilly Consultancy in the annual report for the financial year 2025.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
