SUMMARY:SFDA Marquee Event | SFDA x PwC: Beyond Day One
DESCRIPTION:Venue: The Executive Centre – One Raffles Quay | One Raffles Quay\, Level 49\, North Tower – ORQ Auditorium & LoungeSingapore \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to a two-part evening with SFDA x PwC: Beyond Day One (Panel Discussion)\, followed by our SFDA Annual Marquee & Gathering. \nPART ONE | SFDA x PwC: Beyond Day One: Keeping Your SPV Compliant\, Controlled and Exit-Ready \nIn conjunction with PwC \nLast year’s “Getting the SPV Right from Day One” session covered how to set up and run Singapore SPVs. This follow-up picks up from there: once an SPV is live\, how does a fund manager keep it compliant\, controlled and ready for financing\, audit\, regulatory scrutiny and exit? \nOur panel will follow the SPV through its lifecycle\, from first transaction and recurring books\, tax and filings to board oversight\, portfolio scale and eventual exit. You can expect a moderated discussion with practical examples and time for your questions\, and you will take away: \n\nHow SPV disciplines need to operate after incorporation\, not just at setup or filing time\nWhere seemingly minor gaps turn into tax leakage\, audit friction\, regulatory exposure or exit delays\nHow a connected record across accounting\, tax\, corporate filings and board reporting keeps a growing portfolio consistent and audit-ready\nPractical controls\, information flows and escalation points to apply across a portfolio of SPVs\, including where AI and automation help and where human review still matters\n\nPART TWO | SFDA Annual Marquee & Gathering \nStay on and join us for our year-end gathering\, a relaxed opportunity for members to catch up. Our Chairman will share highlights from the year and key events to look forward to in the year ahead. \nThe evening will also be a graduation ceremony for members who completed the Certificate in Fund Governance over the last six months. We warmly invite our graduates to join us so we can celebrate their achievements together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\nBeyond Day One (In conjunction with PwC) \n\n\n16:30 – 17:00Registration and Networking \n17:00 – 17:05Welcome by Martin O’Regan\, Chairman of SFDA \n17:05 – 17:50Beyond Day 1: Panel Discussion\nRobin Goh (Moderator)\, Michelle Ho\, Yuneswaran Keraishnasamy\, Charles Lim\, Martin O’Regan and Trevina Talina \n17:50 – 18:00Q&A \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSFDA Marquee Event\n\n\n17:30 – 18:00Registration \n18:00 – 18:10Year in Review & Graduation Ceremony by Martin O’Regan\, Chairman of SFDA \n18:10 – 20:30Networking (Free flow F&B) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \nRobin Goh (Moderator)Senior Manager – Business Development and Client Relationship\, Asset and Wealth Managed Services at PwCLinkedIn \n \nMichelle HoDirector – Corporate Support Services of PwCLinkedIn \n\n\n\n\n\n \nYuneswaran KeraishnasamyPartner – Financial Services Assurance at PwCLinkedIn \n\n\n\n\n\n \nCharles LimDeputy Head of Fund Office Support Services\, Asset and Wealth Managed Services at PwCLinkedIn \n\n\n\n\n\n \nMartin O’ReganMD at Solas Fiduciary Services Pte LtdLinkedIn \nMartin O’Regan is the founder and managing director of Solas\, providing a truly independent directorship service\, based in\, and privately owned in Asia.
