A former country managing partner of Ernst
& Young Singapore, Low Weng Keong, has been elected as the next
president of CPA Australia.

Low will be the second consecutive CPA
Australia president to be based outside Australia, as incumbent
Richard Petty is based in Hong Kong.

Low is a consultant, company director and sits
on the boards of a number of listed companies.

He is currently deputy president of CPA
Australia and will succeed Petty on 1 October.

Petty said Low is highly regarded by the
board, members, staff and stakeholders of CPA Australia.

“He brings great wisdom and insight to the
pursuit of our goal to be the global professional accountancy
designation for strategic business leaders,” Petty said.
