Let us discuss the key factors of regulatory compliance according to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore(IRAS) with the essential corporate regulatory compliance.
The Singapore-based company must have a registered office with a valid office address and authenticated communication network. According to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) company must have a valid physical location in the region of Singapore.

The companies can acquire the property or rent it through various sources for mail forwarding and other essential official formalities on a registered address.
All the companies functioning in Singapore must have an active company secretary responsible for functioning in Singapore. The company secretary holds the responsibility that the company compiles all the laws and regulations of the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). In any case, the post of Company secretary cannot be kept vacant for more than six months. The company director can also behold the responsibility of company secretory and ensure the company compliance to be followed as per the Singapore laws.
