Public feedback sought on amendments to Companies, LLPs Acts

The government is proposing four key amendments to transparency and beneficial ownership of companies and limited liability partnerships.

The government is seeking feedback for the amendments proposed by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) to the Companies Act and the Limited Liability Partnerships Act.

The proposed changes are set out in the draft Corporate Registers (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, composed of four key amendments related to transparency and beneficial ownership of companies and limited liability partnerships (LLPs).

These changes are meant to reduce the opportunities of misuse of corporate entities for illicit purposes such as money laundering, terrorism financing, and other threats to the integrity of the international financial system.

The public consultation documents can be accessed on the websites of the MOF, ACRA, and REACH consultation portal.

Interested parties can submit their comments via email to [email protected], using the subject line “Public Consultation on Corporate Registers (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill” until 30 July.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
