Here's how the Companies Act amendments will help businesses

Look forward to reduced regulatory burden and lower compliance costs, among other boons.

In a release, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) said it has accepted 192 and modified 17 recommendations of the Steering Committee for the Review of the Companies Act.

"This is the largest number of changes to the Act since it was enacted in 1967. The wide ranging changes are expected to reduce regulatory burden and compliance costs, provide greater flexibility for companies, and improve corporate governance. It will bring benefits to various stakeholder groups such as companies, small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs), retail investors and company directors," MOF said.

MOF said the recommendations will be implemented through amendments to the Companies Act, and further public feedback will be sought on the draft amendment bill early next year.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
