KPMG announces pay adjustments for Singapore employees, firm-wide bonuses and S$30 million lifelong learning programme amid a drive for talent and quality

  • KPMG in Singapore’s latest pay adjustments and investments in a lifelong learning programme is in recognition of and a bid to contribute to the profession’s critical need to attract and retain top talent.
  • Majority of employees to see their pays adjusted. In particular, starting pays for entry level professional staff will increase by up to 20 percent.
  • About S$25 million invested this financial year into pay raises to recognise quality of talent and delivery.
  • Market-competitive bonus pay-outs to be expected
  • S$30 million investment into the lifelong learning of employees over the next five years
  • Technology investments doubled in 2022 for the Future of Work

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 19 May 2022 – KPMG in Singapore announced today salary adjustments for the majority of its Singapore employees. In particular, the starting pays for entry level professional staff will increase by up to 20 per cent. On top of the S$25 million the firm is investing this financial year into salary increments, the firm will also pay out market-competitive bonuses. KPMG in Singapore is also investing in a multi-million-dollar (S$30 million) lifelong learning programme for its 3,200-strong local workforce as it continues to lead the market in cross-sector trends and transformative expertise.

This move by the Singapore office of the global firm comes as demand by companies for quality advisors rises significantly – highlighting the pivotal role that professional services firms will continue to play in the future landscape for businesses. Integral to this is the profession’s ability to attract and retain top talent within and outside the profession who can solve complex problems and deliver the effective and impactful outcomes demanded by businesses today.

Ong Pang Thye, Managing Partner, KPMG in Singapore, said, “Investing substantially in our people is really our way of telling KPMG’s staff and all stakeholders that it is critical to recognise the importance of professional services, auditors and advisers to the continued functioning of the financial markets and that the quality of talent is fundamental in delivering outcomes of impact/value as well as meeting stakeholders’ expectations. With digitalisation, sustainability agenda and global geopolitical tensions, the complexity of problems has doubled – requiring higher precision and foresight, with innovative outcomes to keep enterprises resilient amid uncertainties. We do not take for granted the pivotal role that each employee plays in creating measurable change that betters life for countries, companies and communities.”

Pay raises and bonus pay-outs recognise quality of talent and delivery of outcomes

These latest round of salary adjustments will benefit the majority of staff and comes alongside firm-wide annual increments that are in-step with or ahead of market. The firm will also continue to pay out bonuses competitively at the market rate despite global geopolitical and economic uncertainties.

The strong showing for compensation and rewards signals KPMG’s continued confidence in Singapore’s economic outlook. It is also reflective of the firm’s steady expansion of its business globally. In FY21, KPMG reported annual aggregated global revenues of US$32.13 billion – a 10 per cent growth in US dollar revenue from FY20.

The pay hike is timely as industry baseline standards are lifted for professional services, given the increase in complexity of businesses. This comes in the form of evolved tax and audit requirements and legislations today, along with widening stakeholder expectations for quality advisory, tax and audit expertise in areas that require deeper sectorial expertise and subject matter knowledge, along with an ability to integrate technological and ESG considerations as well as other non-traditional areas.

KPMG in Singapore has been leading the market in raising salaries for audit and tax employees who attained the Singapore Chartered Accountant (SCA) qualification or Accredited Tax Advisor (ATA) qualification. This 20 per cent pay adjustment, which was the first such move in the industry, is already in place. Eligible staff with these qualifications will continue to enjoy market-leading total salary.

Multi-million-dollar commitment for Lifelong Learning

As an industry thought leader, KPMG in Singapore is also investing about S$30 million into lifelong learning programme over the next five years to groom its talent as it continues to lead insights, discourse and developments for future trends. Training will focus on futurist capabilities, harnessing skillsets such as data and digital literacy as well as valuing and creating measurable impact, alongside ESG topics. These are all aimed at ultimately delivering quality business outcomes for enterprises, industries and communities.

The firm also supports its audit and tax employees towards professional accreditations such as the SCA and ATA, investing about S$21,000 per employee in tuition fees, exam fees and generous paid study leave. To date, the firm has already committed at least $7 million in such sponsorship for FY22.

Beyond this, KPMG will also be equipping employees with multidisciplinary skills and knowledge to tackle emerging challenges in ESG and digital transformation. Last year, the firm announced investments of more than US$1.5 billion over the next three years to embed ESG competencies throughout the global organisation. The investment focuses on ESG training for KPMG’s 236,000 global workforce to empower employees to be agents of positive change. KPMG has partnered two leading global academic institutions – the University of Cambridge Judge Business School and NYU Stern Executive Education – for this initiative. Employees also have unlimited access to over 16,000 courses across business, innovation and technology and have opportunities to put learning into action.

Technology investments doubled for the Future of Work

KPMG in Singapore is also doubling its technology investments in 2022. Aside from empowering its employees to co-create digital assets with clients and industries, the firm is implementing the future of work in its new office space later this year. State of the art technologies will be in place to facilitate enhanced collaboration through virtual, hybrid or physical meetings and work arrangements.

KPMG’s efforts in delivering a strong employee value proposition for talent growth and wellbeing have led it to be consistently ranked as a top employer in Singapore. In 2022, the firm was recognised as one of Singapore’s Best Employers 2022, an annual ranking by The Straits Times and global data firm Statista. In 2021, LinkedIn also named KPMG as a top 15 Singapore Company in Singapore. Among these accolades and others, the firm has been highlighted as a great place for employees to build a professional foundation that sets them up for success at their work and beyond. This includes opportunities for career development, atmosphere at work, working conditions, workplace, salary, equity and diversity.

As companies experience increasing complexity in the years ahead, KPMG in Singapore will continue to stand by its values-driven and purpose-led approach to create a meaningful and positive difference for employees, clients and our communities.

Callsign: Identity First returns in 2022 with James Comey, Dr. Timnit Gebru, and Dr. Zia Hayat confirmed to keynote

Prestigious speakers to discuss the rebuilding of digital trust and driving accountability

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 19 May 2022 – Identity First 2022, presented by Callsign, the digital trust pioneer, has announced a world leading lineup for this year’s virtual event to discuss the erosion, rebuilding and accountability of digital trust. Former FBI Director James Comey, the renowned computer scientist Dr. Timnit Gebru, and Dr. Zia Hayat, CEO and co-founder of Callsign will all keynote. Former chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management Lord (Jim) O’Neil of Gately, who famously coined the term ‘BRICS’ will host a banking panel and a Formula 1 Team Principal is also confirmed to speak.

Identity-First-2022.jpg

Taking place virtually on 21 June 2022, Identity First 2022 will be a live broadcast spanning multiple time zones to enable global inclusivity, and feature keynotes, fireside chats and industry panel discussions by experts offering insights and viewpoints from a public and private sector perspective.

According to a report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies the global cost of cybercrime reached US$544.5 billion in 2018, with US$171 billion reportedly from the Asia Pacific region alone. This is when the World Bank estimates that the digital economy is equivalent to 15.5% of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and growing 2.5 times faster than global GDP over the past 15 years.

“We are living in an era where online fraud is rife, criminals masquerade as organizations or individuals for financial gain, sensitive data is harvested wholesale, and there is a reliance on outdated authentication and verification technologies leading to an erosion of digital trust and lack of accountability,” said Namrata Jolly, General Manager for Asia Pacific, Callsign.

Identity First was created to become the leading global event on digital trust by uniting leading experts with a global community to explore the topic from all angles. Last year’s inaugural, and subsequently award-nominated event, saw Professor Brian Cox and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak deliver keynote presentations on digital trust.

“Although the digital age is meant to propel businesses and peoples’ lives forward, offer inclusion to populations and lower barriers to entry, digital trust is in crisis globally putting the online ecosystem in jeopardy,” continued Jolly.

Dr. Hayat will open the event and deliver a keynote on why it is imperative to establish both digital trust and accountability today. Dr. Hayat will also reveal the first global study into the economic value of digital trust from proprietary research, demonstrating the economic and societal good if digital trust is established.

This year, Identity First 2022 also features a fireside chat with the former Director of Federal Bureau of Investigation (2013-2017), James Comey who will examine trust in digital lives and the lack of accountability in today’s society.

Dr. Timnit Gebru, the renowned computer scientist and 2021 50 Great Leaders by Fortune magazine, will deliver a keynote on how fairness, transparency and accountability can be delivered. The ex-Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Lord (Jim) O’Neil will discuss the role banks can play in helping to solve accountability and trust.

Also confirmed to speak at the event is a Formula 1 Team Principal* who will explain how they manage the opportunities and challenges of building digital trust across the team brand.

Laos Economy Short-changed by Foreign Currency Outflows

Foreign currency - US dollar - (Photo by Giorgio Trovato on Unsplash)

Foreign currency outflows have outpaced inflows, resulting in a lack of foreign currency, and making it harder for the economy to import commodities.
