It has become increasingly important for companies as an employer, to keep abreast of their compliance requirements as various regulators are increasing their audit activities to ensure employers understand their various compliance responsibilities.
The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) is still actively conducting the audit on employer’s reporting compliance, and various methods are employed in its audit. In the last three years, the Central Provident Fund Board (CPF) has stepped up its audit activity to check on the correctness of CPF contributions made by the employer. At the same time, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) is increasing its audit on employers’ knowledge of the application of the Employment Act.
Generally where lapses in compliance are discovered by the regulators, heavy penalties and fines may be imposed and even prosecution of the responsible officers. Employers who volunteer to remediate their past errors before an audit can have their potential penalties reduced.
