The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore (ICPAS) has appointed Lee Fook Chiew as chief executive.
Chiew has previously held various senior positions in the private and public sector with his most recent role being chief financial officer and senior director of corporate development at Infocomm Development Authority (IDA).
Chiew will lead ICPAS as it plays a key role in the designing and implementation of the Singapore Qualification Programme (Singapore QP), set to be launched in June 2013.
The rollout of the QP, which will produce accountants with a globally recognised professional qualification is part of a longer-term plan to make Singapore a global accountancy hub by 2020.
