The COVID-19 pandemic has an adverse impact on Singapore’s economy, especially the construction and building industry. Construction companies are making up for lost time despite the uncertain 2021 outlook. In the current circumstances, companies are facing challenges in planning countermeasures. Business leaders need to be decisive and consider swift measures as well as a certain degree of risk to remain resilient and sustainable.
For this webinar, Harry Elias Partnership and RSM will offer insights on the following:
- Impact of COVID-19 on Construction Projects – Building Back Better
Yvonne Foo, Partner, Construction and Engineering & Energy and Infrastructure of Harry Elias Partnership, will share about where we are now after COVID-19 first hit Singapore in early 2020 – new laws, making or defending COVID-related claims, and the increasing incidence of SOP adjudications. She will also look into what we know, what we can expect, and what do we start doing now to build back better.
- GST Matters during the Pandemic
Richard Ong, Partner & Head, GST Service of RSM, will share about areas GST-registered construction companies must know and manage well to keep things aligned, such that they can channel available energies and cash flow towards the essential parts of their business.
- Tell-tale Signs & Red Flags to Watch Out For
Lin Yueh Hung, Partner, Recovery and Forensics Services of RSM, will share about keeping an eye on warning signs of impending financial challenges. You will learn about taking steps to minimise potential losses of stakeholders, and the measures that can be taken for a business facing insolvency.
This webinar will conclude with a panel discussion where panellists will discuss the industry outlook, market trends, initiatives which construction companies can look forward to, and other sectorial developments anticipated in 2021.
