Hyflux and its directors, including Olivia Lum, under criminal investigation for corporate governance breaches

Quote

SINGAPORE - Troubled water treatment firm Hyflux is under criminal investigation for false and misleading statements, as well as non-compliance with accounting standards, the authorities said on Tuesday (June 2).

The investigation, which also involves the company's existing and former directors, follows a review of Hyflux-related disclosure and compliance with accounting and auditing standards which began in April 2019.

The review, conducted by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (Acra) and the Singapore Exchange Regulation, surfaced reasons to suspect that several offences may have been committed, the authorities said.

Sias calls for Hyflux directors to step down amid probe over corporate governance lapses

Quote

SINGAPORE - The Securities Investors Association (Singapore), or Sias, is calling for the directors of embattled water treatment firm Hyflux to step down.

"Directors must go because of poor credibility and they may not have the time for restructuring. They have taken too long and haven't displayed the ability to close a deal," said Sias president David Gerald on Wednesday (June 3).

A number of perpetual securities and preference (PNP) shareholders have expressed their concerns about the current situation at Hyflux, he noted.

Directors involved in the probe include Hyflux's executive chairman Olivia Lum and lead independent director Teo Kiang Kok.

Acra inspects KPMG's 2011 to 2018 audit of Hyflux

Quote

THE Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (Acra) is inspecting the audit work done by KPMG for Hyflux as part of a larger probe into the water treatment firm's compliance with accounting and auditing standards over a period of years from 2011 to 2018. KPMG was the auditor for Hyflux during that period.

A spokesperson for the accounting watchdog told The Business Times on Wednesday: "Acra, under the Practice Monitoring Programme (PMP), inspects audits carried out by auditors registered with Acra to assess their compliance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. The inspection on the audit of Hyflux is carried out under the PMP and is currently ongoing."

On Tuesday, Acra, together with the Commercial Affairs Department of the Singapore Police Force and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), said that Hyflux and its current and former directors are under investigation for suspected false and misleading statements and breaches of disclosure rules that may have taken place over a period of years.

I do hope whatever wrong doing only happen recently before audit. If the history gone beyond a few years, then the purpose of auditing and the people involved in governance need to be reviewed. Surely all the public awards issued were based hear say only lor.

Hyflux receives notice of termination for Algerian O&M contract

Quote

HYFLUX said on Friday that one of its units has received a notice of termination in respect of the operations and maintenance (O&M) contract for its Magtaa seawater desalination plant in Algeria.

The notice was issued by the owner of the project, Tahlyat Myah Magtaa (TMM), and specifies that Hyflux Operation & Maintenance Algeria, a wholly-owned unit of Hyflux, has 40 days to cure certain purported events of default under the O&M contract, failing which TMM would terminate the O&M contract. 

Hyflux has a 47 per cent shareholding interest in TMM. 

Hyflux Operation & Maintenance Algeria said that it does not agree with or accept the allegations made in the notice and will seek advice on enforcement and protection of its rights in the project. 

The purported termination, if put into effect by TMM, is expected to have a material impact on the group’s financial performance for the year ending Dec 31, 2020.
