Time: 5 pm (Singapore Time)

Portion 1:
Recently, a few of our clients have come to us asking us to run through what a company needs to take note of. Hence, we have come up with this free webinar for both our clients as well as anyone who wants to know more about the compliance requirements of Singapore companies. We have had companies approaching us to plug issues within their companies in terms of corporate compliance. These have resulted in issues such as fines from the registrar, closure of the corporate bank account, warning letters and even disqualification of directors.

Portion 2:
We will also be doing a run-through of the various work passes as well as the changes that came into effect on the 1st of September 2023 (These changes were major!) This is useful for employers who are looking to hire foreigners, white or blue-collar. It is also useful for foreigners who are looking to live and work in Singapore.

This webinar will take about 60 minutes and we will have a question and answer session at the end of the webinar.

Other members of the community will not be able to see your contact number and similarly, you will not be able to see other members’ contact numbers.
Examples of the types of announcements which will be sent out in the community are as such:
1) Filing deadlines and reminders. For example, corporate tax filing deadlines.
2) Any important announcements which may be of useful knowledge to Singapore-registered companies. For example, new requirements to be fulfilled like the recent requirements to register company controllers and nominee shareholders.
3) Upcoming webinars.
4) Useful articles for Singapore companies.
If you see any announcement which you would like to know more about, you can contact any of the Community Admins through private messaging. The Community Admins list is located in Community Info. You can also contact the Raffles Corporate Services team via any group chat which you are in.
