ISCA, COC and NCSS introduce a new programme to help charities strengthen accounting and finance processes for better governance

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 10 October 2023 – In collaboration with the office of the Commissioner of Charities (COC) and the National Council of Social Service (NCSS), the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) will introduce a new programme to support charities in digitalising their accounting and finance processes for better governance and strengthen their accounting capabilities.
The new programme aims to accelerate the digital transformation of over 2,000 charities in Singapore, especially smaller charities with limited resources, by:
i. reviewing and improving the charities’ processes and controls to foster better risk management which will boost stakeholder confidence; and
ii. supporting the implementation of accounting software to strengthen documentation practices and improve charities financial operations for better accountability and governance.
Mr Teo Ser Luck, ISCA President, said: “Many of us have benefited from society whether professionally or personally. At ISCA, we want to do our part to give back to the community by helping those in need. As a profession, we can make a difference to the charity sector with our knowledge and skills. This is an opportunity for our members to make a positive and meaningful impact.”
The new programme will pilot with four charities, before it is scaled for wider implementation in early 2024. Identified by ISCA for the programme, four accounting firms – Helmi Talib Accounting & Advisory, Nexia Singapore, Singapore Corporate Services, and Unity Assurance – will be offering their services on a pro bono basis. Through the firms’ skills-based volunteerism and corporate contribution, they will help charities digitalise their accounting systems and strengthen charities’ governance and controls. Interested charities can write to ISCA at CharityAccounting@isca.org.sg.
As part of this new programme, Xero, an online accounting software company, will offer a specially discounted accounting software package to help charities in their digitalisation journey. Charities that onboard the programme will enjoy 50 percent off standard subscription rates for the first three years and 25 percent off lifetime subscription.
The new programme is driven by the ISCA Charity Accounting Committee, comprising of industry experts from the accountancy sector. The committee will also be supporting the implementation of accounting standards for charities through guidance and sharing of best practices. Professor Ang Hak Seng, Chairman of the ISCA Charity Accounting Committee, said: “In our discussions with the charities, we identified two major pain points that smaller charities face when implementing digital accounting practices – the cost of accounting software and the transition from manual to digital accounting. For the former, ISCA worked with a software company to offer software to charities at community rates. For the latter, pro-bono/low-bono consultants will be attached to each charity to guide them step-by-step in their journeys. Standard operating procedures will also be created to ensure continuity even after the departure of the consultant. These best practices will be shared sector-wide, enabling rapid adoption of digital accounting by more charities.”
Mr Desmond Chin, Commissioner of Charities, said, “This collaboration is part of our efforts to support charities in building up their capabilities to better serve the community, and to strengthen public trust in the sector. Charities are encouraged to leverage ISCA’s programme to strengthen their accounting process and controls to ensure transparency and accountability within their organisations.”
The new programme further complements ISCA’s vision to rally its stakeholders to do more for those in need. In support of Community Chest’s Change for Charity initiative, ISCA will donate $5 for every new subscription to its e-learning platform, ISCAccountify from 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2026.
Ms Tan Li San, Chief Executive Officer, National Council of Social Service, said, “We are grateful to ISCA for taking the lead in encouraging its members to volunteer expertise to strengthen the charities’ finance and accounting practices, and to adopt Change for Charity. We hope to partner more professional associations to enable businesses to tap on their competencies and volunteer their skills to uplift social service agencies, so that they can better serve Singaporeans.” In addition, NCSS provides funding support to NCSS members as well as exempt and registered Charities and Institutions of a Public Character (IPCs) for accounting systems under Tech-And-GO! schemes.”

Aon’s Global Medical Trend Rates Report Forecasts Increase in Employee Medical Plan Costs for Businesses in Asia Pacific, the Highest Since 2015

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 10 October 2023 – Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, has released its 2024 Global Medical Trend Rates Report. The report is based on insights from 113 Aon offices that broker, administer or advise on employer-sponsored medical plans in each of the countries covered in the report. The findings reflect the medical trend expectations of Aon professionals based on their interactions with clients and carriers represented in the portfolio of the firm’s medical plan business in each location. In Asia Pacific, the report forecasted the average medical trend rate for 2024 to be 9.7 percent, up from 9.2 percent in 2023 and the highest since 2015.

The trend rate figures represent the percentage increases in medical plan costs per employee – both insured and self-insured. Knowing the estimated costs in advance helps organisations make better decisions to address projected price inflation, explore technology advances in the medical field, plan usage patterns and cost shifting from social programs.

“Health and wellbeing costs have become an important concern for companies as year-over-year medical plan costs continue to rise. These rising rates often bring unexpected or unbudgeted cost increases and make affordability for employers and employees more difficult,” said Tim Dwyer, chief executive officer, Health Solutions for Asia Pacific at Aon. While macroeconomic instability is a big part of the story behind the medical trend rates, it is also important for businesses to understand the regional differences, the conditions driving the trend rate, and the ways in which these increases can be mitigated to better navigate volatility and make more informed decisions.”

The top medical conditions driving medical plan costs in Asia Pacific are:

1. Cardiovascular

2. Cancer/Tumor Growth

3. Gastrointestinal and Digestive Issues

“The COVID-19 pandemic introduced a period of volatility in health care costs across Asia Pacific that we had not seen for a very long time with claims utilisation returning to pre-pandemic levels during 2023 after a deep decline. The problem is that return in utilisation has come with higher cost products and services creating a twofold effect.” said Alan Oates, head of advisory and specialty for Health Solutions, Asia Pacific at Aon. “At the country level, companies looking to mitigate these increased costs are using a familiar set of strategies with wellbeing initiatives being the leading mitigation strategy. These strategies tend to modify costs over an extended period and current economic pressures mean we are seeing more clients than at any time in the past 10 years achieve cost containment through more direct plan design changes and network management.”

Additional key findings from the study include:

· Wellness initiatives, plan design changes, cost containment, access and delivery restrictions, and flexible benefit plans are the top five mitigation initiatives expected for employers to undertake to prevent medical cost escalation and promote a healthy workforce.

· 32 percent of employers share the medical claims costs by offering restrictive employee medical plans for example co-insurance, deductibles and limits or premium co-funding, while 22 percent are exploring sharing these costs with their employees.

· Approximately 20 percent of companies have an active financing or risk sharing strategy for example hybrid insurance, multinational pooling, captive arrangement, etc., in place for mitigation of increasing employee medical plan costs risk.

· Chronic conditions, physical inactivity and poor stress management continue to be top risk factors driving medical conditions and future adverse claims experience.

“This is a time to be innovative when considering plan design solutions that deliver flexibility to support modern family needs within the cost constraints of the organisation. More money than ever is being invested in wellbeing initiatives and our work with clients has shifted since the pandemic to using more data to better identify population health risks and align financial and wellbeing incentives to build a more resilient workforce,” Oates added.

Aon has forecasted the global average medical trend rate for 2024 to be 10.1 percent, up from 9.2 percent in 2023 and the highest since 2015. The top medical conditions driving medical plan costs globally are:

1. Cardiovascular

2. Cancer/Tumor Growth

3. High Blood Pressure/Hypertension

As employer-sponsored medical plans become a larger part of total rewards spend and pressure mounts to accurately forecast and manage costs, this report will serve as a valuable resource for organisations to plan global budgets and benefits strategies to build more resilient workforces for 2024 and beyond.

Unveiling Petite Practice – A New Paediatric Clinic in Katong

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 10 October 2023 – Petite Practice, a bespoke paediatric service, has announced the opening of their flagship general paediatric clinic in Katong, Singapore. By offering both speciality paediatric and allergy services, Petite Practice aims to provide accessible and quality specialist care to families and children living in the East.

As subspecialised care, such as allergy testing and management services, is traditionally housed in hospitals, many young children feel intimidated and are reluctant to accept medical care and attention. As such, Petite Practice aims provide their allergy care services in a more convenient, comfortable and warm environment thus creating a positive medical experience for families and children. Moreover, as a specialist clinic, Petite Practice follows an appointment-based approach, limiting walk-in cases and focusing on complex cases, including allergic reactions and chronic management. This helps the clinic prevent overcrowding and ensures that all children are attended to in a timely manner.

Petite Practice offers check-ups for babies and children, immunisations and evaluation, management of common childhood illnesses, and allergy testing services. Having experience in Singapore’s public and private healthcare systems, consultant paediatrician Dr Mohana Rajakulendran is well-versed in allergy testing and management. These allergy services help to treat uncomfortable symptoms that may affect children’s sleep quality or focus and attention at school, overall improving their quality of life. Additionally, Petite Practice has access to state-of-the-art medical equipment, including specialised test procedures for allergies. With their experienced team and advanced equipment, Petite Practice guarantees holistic, quality medical care and attention to children in a calm and friendly environment.

Petite Practice is a reliable and convenient paediatric clinic in Singapore offering paediatric allergy testing and management services for children and families in the East. As a specialist clinic, Petite Practice constantly seeks ways to empower parents to care for their children during common childhood illnesses or allergies.

ROSEN, TRUSTED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Masimo Corporation Investors with Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – MASI

New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – October 9, 2023 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Masimo Corporation (NASDAQ: MASI) between February 28, 2023 and July 17, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important October 23, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Masimo securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Masimo class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=18661 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 23, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants misled investors by creating the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the Company’s sales pipeline. In reality, defendants’ forecasting processes failed to adequately account for potential loss of sensor sales among Masimo’s customers, as well as the potential decline in demand for premium and luxury audio categories. Alternatively, defendants deliberately ignored the decline in sales. In either event, defendants misled investors by providing the public with materially flawed revenue guidance for fiscal 2023. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Masimo class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=18661 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 7, 2023.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Leslie’s growth was caused by customers over purchasing products to stockpile in case of a chemical shortage; (2) such sales inflated revenues and earnings and were not indicative of durable and sustainable demand or financial growth; (3) Leslie’s took advantage of chemical shortages by urging customers to stock up on the products because Leslie’s could not “guarantee availability” of chemicals in the future; and (4) any slowdown in sales was not a normalization of past seasonality, but was due to the prior excess stockpiling. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
