Programme Objectives
Industry Seminar
To enhance SMEs chance of success in raising the necessary capital, they need to strive to upgrade their financial management capabilities and improve their creditworthiness in the eyes of potential lenders and financiers. Sound financial management will not only make an SME more attractive to lenders and investors, it will also free up cash resources within the business and reduce the reliance on external financing.
The Financial Management Capability Programme (FMCP) is one of SPRING Singapore’s latest initiatives to help SMEs address and upgrade their financial management needs. The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore (ICPAS) is facilitating the matching of SMEs and the Small and Medium Practices (SMPs) with expertise in financial management consultancy.
Join this seminar to find out how to benefit from the Innovation and Capability Voucher (ICV) under FMCP. The session will feature a complimentary one-to-one business clinic at the end, allowing SMEs to seek financial management advice from the experts.
Technical Workshop
Do you experience problems with the allocation of contract revenue and contract costs to the accounting periods in which construction work is performed when the percentage of completion method is being used? What basis do you use to measure the stage of completion of construction contracts? When and how should you provide for foreseeable losses for the construction contracts?
While there is no “one size fits all” answer to these questions, come join us for this workshop conducted by Mr Loh Ji Kin as he discusses the challenges faced in the practical application of FRS 11 Construction Contracts for the preparation of financial statements.
