3. Internal Controls & Audit Coordination – Develop and maintain a robust internal control framework, review policies, procedures and authority matrices, and work closely with internal and external auditors to coordinate the audit function and track remediation of findings.
4. Board & Governance Support – Advise the Board on regulatory and statutory obligations, support the smooth running of Board and general meetings, and manage conflicts of interest and AML/CFT and sanctions compliance obligations.
5. Cross-Functional Compliance Oversight – Partner with Investor Relations and other internal stakeholders to ensure annual reports, sustainability reports, SGXNET announcements and marketing materials meet regulatory requirements, and coordinate responses to regulatory consultation papers.

2. Strong working knowledge of the CIS Code, SFA, SGX Listing Rules, Code of Corporate Governance and AIFMD, with demonstrated experience liaising directly with MAS and SGX.
3. Proven track record in enterprise risk management, including risk identification, assessment and the design of mitigating controls, ideally with exposure to sustainability/ESG risk integration.
