Modern enterprises recognise compliance as a fundamental component of robust governance structures and prudent risk management, rather than a simple regulatory requirement.. A strong compliance framework is essential for maintaining a company's legal and regulatory standing. Just as importantly, it builds trust with stakeholders, investors, lenders, and boards, by demonstrating a clear commitment to professionalism and transparency. This approach not only protects the business but also provides a real competitive edge.Zetland Fiduciary Group helps companies to design and implement proportionate and practical compliance frameworks that satisfy the expectations of regulators and provide reassurance to all stakeholders. We move beyond simple checklists to create a living compliance culture within your organisation. This involves documenting clear and practical policies, designing user-friendly registers and workflows, and implementing detailed calendars for all required filings and attestations. We then help you to operate this framework effectively, providing pragmatic training for your team and ongoing monitoring to ensure that your compliance posture remains strong and defensible as your business evolves and the regulatory landscape changes. Our goal is to transform compliance from a perceived burden into a strategic asset that supports sustainable growth and enhances corporate value.
Hong Kong's regulatory environment requires financial institutions to adopt a diligent and proactive approach to compliance.. Our service in Hong Kong is designed to ensure your company not only meets but consistently exceeds these obligations. Central to this is the precise maintenance of statutory records in full accordance with the Companies Ordinance and relevant financial regulations.. This includes the crucial Significant Controllers Register (SCR), which requires companies to identify and maintain an up-to-date record of individuals and legal entities that have significant control. We manage this process with precision, ensuring your ownership structure is transparent and fully compliant. We also provide comprehensive support for your annual compliance cycle. This includes the timely filing of the Annual Return with the Companies Registry and the renewal of the Business Registration Certificate. We establish and maintain a detailed compliance calendar, tracking all your key deadlines for these filings, as well as for the annual statutory audit and the submission of your profits tax return. Beyond these core statutory duties, we work with our clients to build a broader framework of good corporate governance. This involves helping you to develop and document key internal policies and procedures, covering critical areas such as financial approval authorities, the management of potential conflicts of interest, the handling of related-party transactions, and robust data privacy protocols. This creates a clear and defensible audit trail for all key corporate decisions, providing significant comfort to your board, your investors, and your auditors, and ensuring your Hong Kong operation is built on a solid foundation of regulatory integrity.
Singapore remains one of the world's most trusted jurisdictions for international business. Its corporate compliance framework is designed to promote transparency, reduce risk, and support sustainable growth. At Zetland Fiduciary Group, we provide end-to-end compliance services tailored to Singapore's evolving regulatory landscape. In 2025, updates to the Companies Act and the introduction of the Corporate Service Providers (CSP) Act have raised the bar for governance and due diligence. These reforms enhance director accountability, strengthen anti-money laundering controls, and streamline administrative processes. Singapore continues to offer compelling tax advantages, including a 50% corporate income tax rebate (capped at S$40,000), enhanced deductions for R&D, and expanded capital gains exemptions under Section 13W. These incentives make Singapore an ideal base for holding companies, regional headquarters, and innovation-driven enterprises. Zetland ensures your entity remains fully compliant with annual filing obligations, XBRL reporting, UBO disclosures, and regulatory updates.
