Setting the Scene
1/6
In this webinar, we shall explore the extent of the governance and succession challenges faced by Singapore and regional business families, and the emergence of the Singapore Single Family Office.
We shall consider in detail the differences between a succession and a governance plan, the key areas of risk that families will face as they undergo unprecedented generational change and what’s at stake, not only for the families but also the financial, legal and accounting professionals advising the families.
​
Necessary remedial steps will be introduced, including the need for sound and robust education, particularly so that financial professionals are better equipped to the advise families.
