Since the establishment of its Singapore operation in 1979, Kaneka Singapore Co. (Pte) Ltd. has been employing the services of Foo Kon Tan Grant Thornton. Beginning with the engagement of auditing services, the relationship has grown in breadth, depth and strength to become the flourishing and enduring partnership that it is today.
In the business of manufacturing pharmaceutical intermediates, Kaneka Singapore Co. (Pte) Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kaneka Corporation – a US$4 billions company headquartered in Japan with a network of overseas subsidiaries in Belgium, United States, Singapore, Malaysia and China.
Referring to our longstanding relationship, Managing Director of Kaneka Singapore, Mr Kazuhiko Yamada says, "Foo Kon Tan Grant Thornton has grown with us over the last 25 years as we have grown our operations in Singapore. We haven't just benefited from their assurance and business advisory service. What impresses us most is that the partners are generous with advice and responsive to our many queries."
As a member firm of Grant Thornton International, Foo Kon Tan Grant Thornton is able to provide Kaneka global expertise within easy reach. We can call on the expertise of Grant Thornton member firms in other countries to help Kaneka deal with any international challenge they may face, for example, when dealing with the complexities of different tax regulations in other countries which can otherwise prove problematic for corporate management. Like many of our other international clients, Kaneka Singapore finds the key people at Foo Kon Tan Grant Thornton easily accessible and knowledgeable.
Mr Yamada explained the main reasons why Kaneka chose to work with Foo Kon Tan Grant Thornton. He puts it down to, "Their philosophy of cooperation with customers to fully understand their requirements help to forge a strong business relationship, coupled with their membership of a leading global organisation of accountants and business advisers that can provide us with the international advice we need."
