The June 4th CPA Singapore Powwow – organised by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore (ICPAS) – saw a strong turnout from women executives working in the financial sector, though the men didn’t shy away either.
In all, 150 participants gathered to hear the panel of two men (including Declan O’Sullivan of Kerry Consulting) and two women, appropriately gender balanced, discuss the forum’s topic: “The Shifting Power Balance – Is Gender the Issue?”.
Other panel members included Mrs Lim Hwee Hua, Singapore’s first female Cabinet minister, Ms Saw Phaik Hwa, CEO of SMRT and Mr Gerald Ee, ICPAS vice-president.
