Meaningful impact often begins with small acts of service.

On 4 November 2026, volunteers from BDO Digital Advisory, Cybersecurity, and Risk Advisory Services supported Willing Hearts, a non-profit organisation that prepares and delivers daily meals to individuals and families in need across Singapore.

During the afternoon, our volunteers assisted Willing Hearts with hands-on activities such as preparing ingredients, sorting essential items, and supporting logistics, housekeeping, and kitchen reset. Each task, though simple, was essential to the organisation's daily meal preparation and distribution.
This experience highlighted the positive impact of collective effort and service, while also bringing our team together beyond the workplace to support a shared purpose.

We thank Willing Hearts for welcoming us and providing this meaningful opportunity to serve the community. This initiative demonstrates BDO Singapore's commitment to giving back and living our People Helping People value through service and collective action.

As our Transfer Pricing team navigates the demands of the November peak period, their team-bonding trip to Guangzhou, China earlier last July reminds them of how much BDO values building meaningful connections beyond day-to-day work.

From first-time skiers and snowboarders taking on new challenges at one of the world's largest indoor snow parks, to teammates encouraging one another through every stumble and success, the experience reflected a culture where continuous learning and mutual support go hand in hand.

The trip also gave them opportunities to connect on a more personal level. Over shared meals and conversations, relationships strengthened, fostering the trust and camaraderie that underpin effective workplace collaboration.

An urban "Amazing Race" across the city further highlighted the value of teamwork. Success depended not on individual performance, but on combining different strengths, perspectives and ideas to achieve a common goal.

At BDO, we know that when our people feel connected, supported and inspired, they achieve their best work. The bonds strengthened in Guangzhou continue to make a difference today, enabling the Transfer Pricing team to navigate peak season with resilience, collaboration and a shared commitment to success.

As the Transfer Pricing team works through one of its busiest periods of the year, the spirit of collaboration developed during the trip continues to shine through, whether in sharing knowledge, supporting colleagues or delivering exceptional outcomes for clients. It reflects what makes BDO a place where our people can thrive and succeed together.

Building a future-ready workforce starts with developing the talent organisations already have.

At the Elevating Workforce Strategy for SMEs: Talent, Capability and Sustainable Growth session, organised by Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF), AKG Singapore and BDO Singapore, Nellie Yeoh, People Advisory Director at BDO Singapore, shared perspectives on talent development and capability building through meaningful development conversations as part of a panel discussion. The event brought together more than 60 employers to explore how organisations can build workforce agility, strengthen organisational capabilities and prepare for evolving business needs.

Nellie explored how competencies and career aspirations can shape more meaningful development conversations, helping organisations better support employee growth. She also discussed how AI can support managers' preparation for these conversations. The session reinforced the importance of looking beyond hiring to develop existing talent, build workforce agility and strengthen organisational capabilities to support long-term, sustainable growth.

Thank you to our partners, SNEF and AKG, as well as our fellow panellists and participants for the valuable discussion. We hope the insights shared inspire more meaningful development conversations that empower employees, nurture talent and help organisations build agile, future-ready workforces.

On 28 October 2026, we welcomed 50 students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) to BDO Singapore for BDO Insight Day. The event gave us an opportunity to connect with the next generation of talent and share what makes a career at BDO meaningful and rewarding.

The afternoon began with an introduction to our firm, culture, and global network, giving students a glimpse of how we empower our people to grow, collaborate, and make a difference. Through an engaging fireside chat moderated by Philip Aw (Audit Partner), alongside Evelyn Lim (Tax Executive Director), Nicolette Ng (Restructuring & Forensic Associate Director) and Xing Zengyi (Audit Senior Manager), students gained valuable insights into the diverse career opportunities available across Audit, Restructuring & Forensics, and Tax Advisory.

Drawing from their own professional journeys, our speakers shared candid reflections on career development, navigating change in an evolving business landscape, and embracing emerging technologies such as AI. They also highlighted the importance of curiosity, adaptability, and continuous learning, qualities that help our people thrive and build fulfilling careers at BDO.

Students further benefited from hearing firsthand from Ngee Ann Polytechnic alumni Xu Jiayi and Xing Zengyi, who shared their experiences transitioning from campus to the workplace. Their personal stories showed that every career journey is unique and reinforced the value of mentorship, growth opportunities and support for those starting their professional careers.

The session concluded with an office tour and networking over refreshments, giving students the opportunity to connect with our professionals, ask questions, and better understand BDO’s collaborative, inclusive environment.

Thank you to our BDO professionals for generously sharing your experiences and insights, and to Ngee Ann Polytechnic for partnering with us on this meaningful initiative.

At BDO, we believe that people are at the heart of everything we do. By creating opportunities for students to learn, connect, and gain real-world perspectives, we hope to inspire future talent to explore careers where they can keep learning, realise their potential, and make an impact. We look forward to staying connected with these bright young individuals and welcoming some of them back to BDO in the years ahead.

The question isn’t whether AI will transform your business. The question is whether your cyber strategy will evolve quickly enough to keep pace with the transformation.

Many organisations still govern cyber as a technology function and AI as an innovation initiative. That separation is becoming dangerous. Cybersecurity has become a foundational component of AI adoption, not a checkpoint at the end of a project. What is the new leadership challenge?

The BDO Global Private Client Services (PCS) Conference 2026 was held in Singapore from 13 to 16 October 2026, bringing together private client services professionals from across the BDO global network for three days of insightful discussions, collaboration and knowledge sharing.

As wealthy individuals, families and businesses become increasingly global, navigating wealth transition, succession planning, philanthropy, international mobility and tax considerations requires both local insight and cross-border expertise. The conference provided a platform for delegates to exchange perspectives on the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of private wealth advisory.

We were privileged to have Joanna Steiner, Faye Ong and Jake Davies from J.P. Morgan join us for an insightful panel discussion on wealth transition, next-generation education and philanthropy.

Delegates were also welcomed by Mark Po***ck (Leader, Private Clients, BDO Australia), Frankie Chia (Managing Partner, BDO Singapore) and Abner Koh (PCS Executive Director, BDO Singapore), who emphasised the importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing across the global PCS community.

From global tax developments to local opportunities, Sharnie Mitchell (National Leader of Tax, BDO Australia) shared the key priorities and focus areas shaping global tax leadership, while Kylie Luo (PCS Leader & Executive Director, BDO Singapore) provided an overview of Singapore's appeal as a leading financial hub.

Through thought-provoking presentations, case studies and knowledge-sharing sessions, the conference highlighted the importance of collaboration across jurisdictions in helping private clients navigate complex wealth, tax and succession matters with confidence.

Beyond the sessions, the conference provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships, exchange perspectives and deepen connections across the global PCS community, reinforcing the strength of BDO's international network and our shared commitment to delivering coordinated advice across jurisdictions and generations.

Thank you to all speakers, delegates and organisers, and especially to our colleagues across the BDO global network and guest speakers from J.P. Morgan, for contributing to a successful and memorable conference.

From 13 to 15 October 2026, BDO Singapore's Cybersecurity Team participated in the annual Singapore International Cyber Week (SICW) and GovWare 2026 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore, reaffirming our role in helping organisations strengthen cyber resilience in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

In collaboration with our partner, Netrust Pte Ltd, BDO hosted a joint exhibition booth where our cybersecurity professionals engaged with business leaders, government representatives, technology practitioners and cybersecurity professionals from across the region. The event gave BDO a platform to showcase its comprehensive cybersecurity capabilities and discuss the evolving threat landscape, emerging cyber risks, and practical strategies to safeguard organisations against cyber threats.

Over the three-day event, visitors learned more about BDO's suite of cybersecurity services, including cyber risk management, governance and compliance, security assessments, managed security services, incident response, digital forensics, and resilience planning. Our team shared insights on how organisations can navigate today's cybersecurity challenges while enabling secure business growth and digital transformation.

BDO's participation at SICW and GovWare 2026 underscores our dedication to staying at the forefront of cybersecurity developments and working alongside trusted partners to help organisations build cyber confidence. We thank all visitors, clients, and industry peers who stopped by our booth, and we look forward to continuing the conversations that will shape a more secure digital future for businesses and communities alike.
