OW FOOK CHUEN Accountant-General Singapore 22 June 2021 REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT OF SINGAPORE Opinion The Financial Statements of the Government of Singapore for the financial year 2020/2021 set out on pages 1 to 278 have been examined and audited under my direction as required by section 8(1) of the Audit Act (Cap. 17, 1999 Revised Edition). In my opinion, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Article 147(5) of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore (1999 Revised Edition) and the Financial Procedure Act (Cap. 109, 2012 Revised Edition). As disclosed in the Explanatory Notes to the Statement of Budget Outturn, the Statement of Budget Outturn, which reports on the budgetary performance of the Government, includes a Net Investment Returns Contribution. This contribution is the amount of investment returns which the Government has taken in for spending, in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore. My opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Basis for Opinion The audit was conducted under my direction in accordance with the Audit Act. My responsibility under the Audit Acts i further described in the Auditor- General’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of this report. As the Auditor-General, I am independent of the Government and I exercise my duties and powers in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore and the Audit Act. Ethical requirements that are relevant to the audit have been fulfilled. I believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. Government’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements The Minister for Finance is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Article 147(5) of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore and section 18 of the Financial Procedure Act. The Accountant-General is responsible under the Financial Procedure Act for the supervision and administration of the Government accounting system and is required under the Financial Regulations (Cap. 109, Regulation 1) to prepare and submit to the Minister the statements required under section 18 of the Financial Procedure Act. The Permanent Secretaries of ministries and Heads of organs of state, as Accounting Officers, are responsible, inter alia, for ensuring that proper books and systems of accounts are adopted and maintained in every department under their charge, in accordance with the Financial Regulations. Auditor-General’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements My responsibility is to report on these financial statements based on the audit as required under section 8(1) of the Audit Act. In dischargingh t is responsibility, my objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of the audit, professional judgement is exercised and professional scepticism is maintained throughout the audit. The audit also includes: • Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Obtaining an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls. Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made, having regard to the law. Among other matters, the timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controls identified during the audit are communicated to those charged with governance.

The principal laws include: (i) Part XI of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore (1999 Revised Edition); (ii) the Financial Procedure Act (Cap. 109, 2012 Revised Edition); (iii) the Financial Regulations (Cap. 109, Rg 1, 1990 Revised Edition); (iv) the Development Loan Act (Cap. 81, 1985 Revised Edition); (v) the Development Loan (1987) Act (Cap. 81A, 1988 Revised Edition); (vi) the Development Fund Act (Cap. 80, 2013 Revised Edition); and (vii) the Government Securities Act (Cap. 121A, 2014 Revised Edition). The Government keeps its accounts on the cash basis of accounting in accordance with Regulation 19 of the Financial Regulations (Cap. 109, Rg 1, 1990 Revised Edition). A transaction is recorded only when cash is received or paid. Accruals of amounts due to or owing by the Government are not shown in the Financial Statements, but are tracked by way of departmental records. Assets acquired by any organ of state or ministry are not capitalised as assets but are treated as outright expenditure in the year in which payments are made. Likewise, stocks in hand at the end of the financial year are not taken into account as assets. (b) The Government of Singapore as an accounting entity comprises all organs of state and ministries. Statutory boards and Government-owned companies are not included.

  • Community Policing in Singapore
    COMMUNITY POLICING IN SINGAPORE by Mark Low Jian Neng A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (VANCOUVER) April 2012 ©Mark Low Jian Neng, 2012 ABSTRACT This thesis is devoted towards unpacking how community policing has been managed as a state discourse by the Singapore Police Force. Firstly, community policing is located within the historical context of a modernising Singapore. This begins with the need for crime prevention that was disseminated through decentralised neighbourhood police posts in the 1980s. With economic restructuring in the 1990s, community policing was rescaled to meet the changing demography of the population. Following an enhanced deployment of counter-terrorism discourse in the wake of 9/11, community policing was re-invented as part of a (re)bordering strategy to safeguard territorial sovereignty and social cohesion. Secondly, the methodology of community policing is visualised through the changing frames of the state-produced docu- drama, Crime Watch. As a television programme that has consistently raked in high viewership numbers for 25 years, Crime Watch texts deserve their fair share of critical scrutiny to reveal the means of community engagement by the state police. Thirdly, the personal networks of Volunteer Special Constables are studied for the insights that they can reveal into the work of policing one’s community. Personal interviews with sixteen volunteers provide the empirical data for analysis. Volunteers have committed much time and effort into performing the work of volunteer police officers. Mediating the boundaries between the police and the public, these volunteers translate community policing into practice in complicated ways that have not been adequately documented.
