Time for listed companies to weed out untimely information disclosure

Associate Professor Mak Yuen Teen from the Department of Accounting at NUS Business School and Mr Chew Yee Hong, an active investor and corporate governance researcher, highlighted the need for SGX to improve its monitoring of issuers’ compliance and to take enforcement action on issuers that continue to flout the rules despite being informed about the regulations. Otherwise, ordinary investors will not see a level playing field and this will ultimately harm investors’ confidence in the integrity of our market.
