Meet Sandrea Lim, Deputy Technical Director, Inspection Department

As the national regulator of public accountants, ACRA has independent oversight of public accountants and accounting entities in Singapore. “My work centres around reviewing the works of the audit firms. I am part of the team that conducts practice reviews to assess Public Accountants’ compliance with the professional standards and we work with senior partners in the Public Accountancy profession to uphold high audit quality. I also conduct firm-level inspections to determine whether an audit firm has put in place an effective system of audit quality controls in accordance with the Singapore standards

Working in ACRA has given me the opportunity to interact with like-minded independent audit regulators around the world. I have had the privilege to complete a secondment stint with an overseas audit regulator to experience how a leading jurisdiction conducted its audit regulation. It is an eye-opener and certainly an enriching part of my career experience thus far!

Robust audit regulation is crucial in upholding market confidence, protecting public interests and preserving the trust and standing of Singapore’s audit profession. I am glad I am able to contribute towards providing a responsive and trusted regulatory environment for businesses and Public Accountants in Singapore.”
