1 Media Release Helping SMEs Recalibrate for Quality Growth - SMPs should pay attention to SMEs growing demand for advisory services, especially in Tax, Risk Management and Financial Management Singapore, 3 April, 2013 Small and Medium Accounting Practices (SMPs) can better support their growth by diversifying from audit and assurance services to provide advisory services and support the internationalisation efforts of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), according to a joint survey by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore (ICPAS) and CPA Australia. The ICPAS-CPA Australia Survey on Advisory Services for Singapore Businesses noted that SMEs have to manage more business complexities as they expand their operations into multiple geographies. As their business needs evolve, SMEs would like to use more advisory services, especially in Tax Advisory (32 per cent), Risk Management (19 per cent) and Financial Management (19 per cent), the survey found. (Appendix, Figure 1). SMEs would be willing to pay for advisory services at the right cost, with a significant number preferring a one-stop shop if the chosen SMP offers the breadth of services, the survey found. But despite the demand indicated by SMEs, slightly over half of SMP respondents provide only one or no advisory services (51 per cent) (Appendix, Figure 2). 1 P a g e
2 Correspondingly, SME respondents indicated that there are insufficient Tax (45 per cent), Business Strategy (44 per cent) and Risk Management (40 per cent) advisory services to support their expansion needs (Appendix, Figure 3). Currently, the top three services provided by SMPs are related to traditional reporting and compliance services such as Audit and Assurance (94 per cent), Compilation and Accounting (88 per cent) and Tax and Compliance (86 per cent) (Appendix, Figure 4). Opportunities for SMEs to Grow Through Their Partnership with SMPs SMEs currently engage SMPs more for traditional reporting and compliance services like Audit and Assurance (72 per cent), Tax and Compliance (59 per cent) and Incorporation and Corporate Support (31 per cent) (Appendix, Figure 5). However, SMEs have indicated that they seek to use more advisory services in view of their intention to internationalise 1 or expand their business (41 per cent). SMEs also indicated that they anticipate a future need for more sophisticated advisory services, with the top three being Risk Management (53 per cent), Business Strategy (48 per cent) and Business Process (46 per cent) (Appendix, Figure 6). In choosing a trusted business partner to provide the much needed advisory assistance, the SME respondents indicated that cost (74 per cent) is their biggest concern, followed by professional experience (68 per cent), ability to support them in multiple jurisdictions (43 per cent) and breadth of services provided (31 per cent) (Appendix, Figure 7). This shows that while it is a priority for SMEs to effectively manage their costs, they appear willing to pay, at the right price, for the experience, knowledge, skills and convenience in choosing the right business consultant to assist them with their expansion or internationalisation. 1 IE Singapore, Internationalisation Survey, May 22, P a g e
3 Given that SMEs are looking for a more holistic range of services, SMPs can tap on this growth opportunity by becoming a one-stop shop offering a breadth of advisory services to SMEs. This is especially so for Tax Advisory services, where it was found that even though SMPs perceive demand for it (78 percent), a relatively smaller pool of SMPs (41 per cent) are providing it (Appendix, Figure 8 and 4). As trusted business advisors to SMEs, SMPs play an integral role in supporting them. SMPs should seize the opportunity to progress up the value chain by offering advisory services such as tax, financial and risk management, to better support their SME clients in line with their changing needs. ICPAS, as the national accountancy body, will continue to support and work with SMPs in their efforts to grow their capabilities and move up the value chain, said Yee Cheok Hong, Executive Director (Policy & Strategic Planning/Industry Development), Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore The survey brings out one very clear message SMEs have good appetite to increase their engagements of small and medium practices because they could be more personable, targeted and possibly offer services at more competitive rates. With SMEs making up 99% of all enterprises in Singapore, this market is a low hanging fruit if only SMPs would choose to bite, said Melvin Yong, Singapore General Manager, CPA Australia. The ICPAS-CPA Australia Survey on Advisory Services for Singapore Businesses was conducted between September and October 2012 and garnered 130 and 108 responses from the SME and SMP community respectively. The survey is aimed at understanding the range of accounting and advisory services needed by SMEs and those provided by SMPs. -Ends- For media enquiries, please contact: Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore Betsy Tan, Communications Manager Tel: / betsy.tan@icpas.org.sg CPA Australia Sheryl Koh, Assistant Marketing Communications Manager Tel: / sheryl.koh@cpaaustralia.com.au 3 P a g e
