Looking beyond today 💫

What will it take for accountants to continue creating real value for businesses and remain trusted by society ten years from now?

That was at the heart of Day 2 of our ISCA Strategy Retreat, where our Council, Management and Heads of Department came together to look beyond today's priorities.

We looked towards 2036 and challenged our assumptions about how AI, trust, sustainability, changing careers and an increasingly connected Asia could reshape the profession.

But this was not an exercise in predicting the future.

It was about preparing for it.

We worked backwards from 2036 to ask what ISCA must become by 2031 and what choices we need to start making from 2027.

The discussions reinforced something important for me. As the world changes, technical excellence will remain fundamental, but our profession must offer more. Our members must continue to exercise trusted judgement, embrace new capabilities and create meaningful value for businesses and society.

For ISCA, that means being prepared to evolve too.

The two days have given us greater clarity on where to double down, what we need to change and where we need greater discipline.

Now comes the most important part: turning those choices into action.

ISCA welcomed representatives from The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to ISCA House on 21 August 2026 to deepen collaboration in AI capability building and professional recognition.

A key area of discussion was how ISCA and ICAI can work together to strengthen AI capabilities across the profession by sharing practical learning, use cases and experience from both markets.

The Institutes also discussed how competencies already completed and assessed under the ICAI qualification can be appropriately recognised within the SCAQ Foundation Programme for eligible members.

The collaboration is part of ISCA’s broader effort to strengthen the international relevance of CA (Singapore), extend Singapore-developed professional capabilities overseas, and build more opportunities and connections for our members.

What does it take for finance to stay ahead when the operating environment keeps changing?

From shifting tariffs and geopolitical tensions to the rapid adoption of AI, finance professionals are navigating a growing range of forces that are changing how organisations plan, respond and make decisions.

Beyond stewardship and compliance, finance professionals are increasingly called upon to anticipate risks, strengthen organisational resilience and provide strategic insights that support better decision-making.

At the upcoming Public Sector Connect, jointly organised by ISCA and the Accountant-General's Department (Singapore), public and private sector leaders will explore how finance teams can strengthen resilience and prepare for the future.

Moderated by Ms Clarice Tan, CA (Singapore), ICP-FIN, Regional Business Manager & Head of Project Management (APAC), TP ICAP, the fireside conversation will feature:

• Ms Adele Liew, CA (Singapore), Partner, Financial Accounting Advisory, EY Singapore
• Mr Norman Tan, Director (Finance Management), Accountant-General's Department and Ministry of Defence

Centred on the theme “Finance Beyond the Numbers: Navigating Uncertainty and the Future of Finance”, the conversation will explore:

• How geopolitical and economic shifts are reshaping financial planning and decision-making
• Building financial resilience while balancing agility and governance
• Practical lessons and governance considerations for AI adoption in finance
• Future-ready capabilities finance professionals need to stay relevant and create value

If you are a finance executive, manager or business partner in the public sector, join us for an afternoon of practical perspectives and candid conversations on navigating uncertainty and the evolving role of finance.

Making choices for greater impact 🚀

Strategy is as much about what we choose not to do as what we choose to do.

Yesterday, ISCA's Management and Heads of Department came together for the first day of our Strategy Retreat.

We challenged ourselves around three priorities that will be critical to our next phase of growth: putting members at the centre of what we do, building meaningful international growth and ensuring that our ambitions are financially sustainable.

The conversations were candid. We looked hard at what is working, what needs to change and where we should focus our resources and energy.

Our challenge was simple:

What should we double down on? What should we fix or redesign? And what should we have the courage to stop?

As ISCA grows, we cannot simply do more of everything. We need to make deliberate choices that create greater value for our members, the profession and the business community.

Today, we take this conversation forward with our Council and look further ahead to the future of the profession and the ISCA we need to become.
