Chang Yew Kwan FCCA has spent over two decades working in tax. This is a specialism that he finds rewarding and challenging, with roles that have seen him involved in addressing international tax disputes as well as designing tax incentives. In his interview this month he talks about working at OCBC, the longest-established Singapore bank, and why he wants to inspire the younger generation to choose a career in tax.
We also hear from Eunjoo Lee FCCA, senior manager at Deloitte in South Korea, on her commitment to continued learning as she develops her career as an internal audit specialist in Asia Pacific.
In our careers section, we find out what ASEAN’s accounting and finance recruitment landscape will look like this year. Which specialisms will be in demand by employers, and will salaries meet expectations in a difficult hiring market? We also have some advice on how to self-manage your career to make sure you seek out the best opportunities for professional development.
Elsewhere, we look at how accountancy practices are extending their services to meet retirement planning demands as Asian populations age. Practitioners able to support the financial wellbeing as well as wealth management needs of clients are finding ways to add value to their service offering.
And as environmental, social and governance evolves as a strategic significance to businesses, we consider how Singapore’s organisations can navigate shifting expectations on sustainability reporting as well as meet tightening regulations.
Finally, if you are looking to get ahead on your learning, our CPD section has a wealth of articles, including one on cryptocurrencies and regulation.
