Singapore AGD and ISCA renew partnership for public finance training

The Accountant-General’s Department (AGD) and the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) have renewed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a three-year partnership. The collaboration aims to develop a future-ready public finance and internal audit workforce in Singapore.

The partnership focuses on professional development in areas including artificial intelligence, sustainability, assurance, and financial governance. Training programs will be curated based on the Public Sector Finance and Internal Audit Competency Frameworks to enhance the skills of approximately 4,000 public finance and internal audit officers.

A key component of the initiative is building AI and digital competencies through the ISCA AI Fluency Programme. Over 400 officers have already enrolled in training that covers practical applications, the responsible use of AI, and the professional judgment required to manage AI-generated information.
