K E Wee Associates PAC – Achieving Company Compliance Success: Chartered Accountant Wee Kong Eng Shares Key Insights

Compliance is critical for every business’s operational integrity. Chartered accountant Wee Kong Eng offers insights into Singapore’s regulatory environment.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2024 – Maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements in Singapore is critical for every business’s operational integrity. Chartered accountant Wee Kong Eng shares more about the importance of compliance and offers insights into navigating the regulatory framework.

SINGAPORE, 19 March 2024 — Maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements in Singapore is critical for every business’s operational integrity. Chartered accountant Wee Kong Eng shares more about the importance of compliance and offers insights into navigating the regulatory framework.

Singapore’s Regulatory Landscape
Singapore’s regulatory framework prioritises fostering a business-friendly environment. Numerous guidelines are implemented to not only support businesses in achieving sustainable growth, but also protect consumers or the public. However, Singapore also offers various initiatives, such as strategic exemptions that smaller enterprises can leverage for efficiency and flexibility in regulatory compliance. For example, smaller companies do not have to have their financial statements audited for a year if they meet certain criteria. All required submissions to the authorities are also digitised—Singapore’s compliance system is probably one of the most efficient in the world.

Important Guidelines Businesses Must Pay Attention To
There is a long list of laws that businesses have to comply with. Firstly, they must prepare proper accounts and submit income tax returns. Those who are GST-registered (or required to pay GST) will need to submit GST returns. Secondly, all companies in Singapore must prepare financial statements, have the financial statements audited and hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) unless they are exempt from doing so. Then, an Annual Return must be submitted to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). There are also other requirements like Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions and submission of employees’ income to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).
Importance of Compliance
All businesses, regardless of their size, must ensure that they fully meet all statutory compliance guidelines as those are legal requirements and there are consequences for not complying with them. Large corporations usually give compliance requirements their due attention, but unfortunately, a good proportion of smaller, locally-owned businesses tend to neglect compliance and may have to suffer the effects of violations or non-compliance. This could stem from resource and cost constraints or a misconception that compliance with statutory requirements are not important.
However, in order to grow and expand, there must be changes to mindset and approach to compliance. And a culture of compliance, combined with a set of proper systems can be helpful for businesses looking for long-term sustainable success. For example, when they wish to sell their business, add new investors or when they exceed the threshold to be exempt from audits, difficulties will begin to rise if the business did not have the foundations for compliance in place.
Tips for Ensuring Compliance
It’s important for businesses, especially smaller entities that aim to grow, to have the right culture and attitude toward compliance. The tone from the top is crucial. Businesses should recognise that compliance with accounting, taxation, GST and other requirements is part of their business requirements. Like any other business costs, there must be costs allocated to meet these compliance needs, and these must be implemented from the get-go so that it becomes part of the business’s DNA. Many businesses grow without the required foundations for compliance in place and only to find that implementing the required policies, procedures and controls cannot be done overnight.
For businesses that are unable to perform all compliance activities themselves to meet these requirements, they can outsource the tasks to appropriately qualified service providers. However, when selecting a service provider or advisor, businesses need to make sure that they’re choosing those with the right expertise and capabilities to deliver the quality required. Many accounting-related services in Singapore are actually unregulated and there are a myriad of different types of service providers in the industry, so it’s wise to stay vigilant.

BingX Introduces $REZ Spot Trading Amid Growing Popularity of Ethereum Restaking Ecosystem

VILNIUS, LITHUANIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2024 – The restaking category is growing in popularity, propelled by some eye-catching projects, such as Renzo, EigenLayer, and others. Renzo ($REZ), with a high potential of becoming the top 1 token in the restaking space, is poised to issue its launching on centralized exchanges. Its launching may also benefit the Ethereum price as the restaking category will add vitality to the Ethereum ecosystem.

What Is $REZ?

Renzo (REZ) is a cryptocurrency project aiming to simplify and enhance Ethereum staking through its role as a Liquid Restaking Token and Strategy Manager for the EigenLayer protocol. EigenLayer focuses on a concept called Actively Validated Services which allows Renzo to potentially offer users higher yields than traditional ETH staking methods.
Essentially, Renzo acts as a bridge between users and the EigenLayer ecosystem. Users deposit their ETH holdings into Renzo, which then strategically allocates them within EigenLayer’s network of validators. This process eliminates the complexities of managing validator nodes directly, making staking more accessible for everyday users.
A key feature of Renzo is its issuance of ezETH, a Liquid Restaking Token. When you deposit ETH into Renzo, you receive an equivalent amount of ezETH. Unlike staked ETH, ezETH is a tradable token. This means you can hold ezETH to earn staking rewards (such as airdrop) while retaining the flexibility to buy, sell, or trade it on compatible cryptocurrency exchanges. This liquidity aspect is a major advantage compared to traditional staking methods, where your ETH remains locked for an extended period.
Another highlight of Renzo is its focus on promoting the wider adoption of EigenLayer. Users can also earn points for EigenLayer airdrop, if they stake ezETH via Renzo protocol. By acting as a user-friendly interface, Renzo encourages more people to participate in EigenLayer’s network of validators, which contributes to the overall security and efficiency of the Ethereum blockchain.
Trading of REZ will start on 2024-04-30
“We are thrilled to offer our users the opportunity to trade these popular tokens,” said Jason, BingX crypto asset analysis “As one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, BingX is dedicated to providing a diverse range of assets and supporting the growth of innovative projects within the Base Chain ecosystem.”
Traders can now access REZ on BingX and take advantage of the platform’s advanced trading features and liquidity. BingX Spot gives users early access to some of the most sought-after tokens in the space, with more that 700+ trading pairs.

In 2023, it has managed to ensure a low bad debts ratio of 1.5% and achieve a capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 12.6%, among the highest in the industry.

The annual general meeting also agreed to increase the dividend payment rate in 2023 to 30% from 25% with a maximum of 10% in cash, based on the business results it achieved.

In 2023, profit before tax topped VND13 trillion (US$613 million), up 26.8 % from 2022. HDBank achieved an ROA of 2% and an ROE of 24.2%, placing it among the top banks in the industry.
