    Activity
    58% of the corporate fraud in Singapore were committed by staff, according to a research performed by KPMG-SMU Singapore Fraud Survey in 2014. The recent Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and Worker’s Party lawsuits further highlighted the importance of corporate safeguards to protect companies against fraudulent acts committed by staffs and suppliers. This 1 day seminar looks at the relevant laws governing fraudulent offences in Singapore and possible ways of remedies. Specific discussions will focus on the common types of company frauds and fraudulent acts committed by staffs, insiders and company suppliers. We also discuss the relevant safeguards to protect companies’ interests.
