1 Issue 3 October 2015 SGInTouchKeeping you connected Welcome to SG InTouch, our internal newsletter that will keep you up to date with the social happenings in Deloitte and get to know more about our Deloitte people. The newsletter will be at the end of every month, in both soft and hard copies (100% recycled paper), which will be placed in D.Lounge and Zone 3R for your reading pleasure. We hope that you will enjoy the line-up of stories we have prepared for you. The SG InTouch editorial team The 2015 SEA Partners Conference kicked off on 5 October 2015 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Bangkok, where our SEA partners came together to review the performance for the last financial year and discuss the plans for the year ahead. The theme for this year s conference was Making an IMPACT that matters and over the course of the conference, our partners were engaged in various meetings and trainings. The conference was also attended by 20 international guests from over eight countries, including Deloitte Global Deputy CEO Mumtaz Ahmed, Global Managing Director for Risk, Regulatory and Public Policy Roger Dassen, and Asia Pacific Regional Managing Director Yoichiro Ogawa. One of the highlights of the conference was the IMPACT wall which was on display throughout the conference. The idea of the wall was to encourage the attendees to reflect on what matters most to them and how they will make an IMPACT that matters to drive Deloitte s purpose, and it featured various inspiring quotes contributed by our partners on what leaders can do to make an IMPACT. Partners were able to snap photographs in front of the wall while holding up cards with phrases such as Leading with purpose and Always one step ahead. They each took away with them a personalised photo and a specially designed Deloitte thumb drive SEA Partners Conference There were also other opportunities for partners to network with each other for instance at the dinner events and their respective function meetings. Some of the functions also organised small team building events painting collages and holding cocktail-mixing competitions.

2 2 SG InTouch Spotlight Our table tennis team strikes Gold again! I believe that we have been victorious over all these years because of the cohesive effort put in by everyone. In addition to every player s commitment to the team and to faithfully attending the training sessions so that our skills can be improved, our focus is also always on the continuous renewal of the team. It is not easy to find people who excel both academically and in sports, so when we do, we make sure that we attract them to join us and then to stay with us. For this, we get the support of the firm as well as the individual players who introduce new people to join us. As for me personally, the reasons why I have stayed as a member of the team all these years are because I truly enjoy the game and because I treasure the relationships that have developed among the players. In addition to being great fun, it s also a good exercise actually the only one I get! Wong Chee Ming, Tax Partner Deloitte table tennis team at the ISCA Games Our outstanding Table Tennis team has done it again and won Gold at the recent ISCA Games which took place on 4 October With their consistent, strong performance, they have done Deloitte proud by retaining the Championship title for 16 out of 17 years at the ISCA Games! That s not all they also won Gold at the Corporate Community Games (CCG) which took place on 17 October 2015 and the Inter-Professional Games (IPG) on 20 September At the IPG, a tournament among the accounting, engineering, law, marine and medical sectors, the ISCA team which was predominantly made up of Deloitte players emerged as champions. With the pressure on to defend our reputation as a force to be reckoned with, our paddlers have been training hard since last year to ensure that they will be in top form for the ISCA Games, the CCG and the IPG. Despite losing key experienced players in recent years, the Deloitte table tennis team has developed consistently, grooming and recruiting new players to continue their legacy. Led by Hsu Man Pin, Liauw Wan Ling, Nicholas Koh and Wang Tao, the team trained even harder, knowing that they will be facing strong competition this year. Our paddlers increased the training intensity, coming together at least twice a week nearing the competition, to work on their techniques and chemistry with one another especially for the doubles matches. During the training sessions, the team would try out different strategies, grouping players according to their strengths and specialties after discussing with supporting partners, Ernest Kan and Wong Chee Ming, on the best combinations for each competition. They would take turns to spar and build on each other s speed and accuracy and this has cultivated a great team spirit and boosted the team s morale as they approached the competitions. The high attendance rate during each training session was also a demonstration of the commitment of the players. Although winning Gold was an impressive achievement which the players were proud of, what made the experience more meaningful was the friendships forged and the relationships which have developed during the times when they trained together. Being a part of the team has provided them with the valuable opportunity to bond with colleagues across different functions and levels. As expressed by most of the players in the team, the one thing they enjoyed the most was the camaraderie between likeminded people whose main aim is to enjoy the sport that they all love. Another factor which made the win even more significant was the fact that we no longer have any ex-national players compared to earlier years, when we had a number of ex-national or provincial/state players from Singapore, Malaysia and China. Ernest explained, With such strong players then, you could say that winning at that time was almost a guarantee. However, in the past few years, we lost these experienced players and thus, all the team members had to work doubly hard to ensure that we are able to continue to triumph. This victory is the result of the excellent team spirit that keeps our table tennis team strong. It is great to see the tremendous effort by the team translate into another achievement! As retired American Gymnast, Mary Lou Retton, correctly describes, A trophy carries dust. Memories last forever. More importantly, it is the great friendship, team spirit, and bonding forged over the years that make everything special. Sean Chua, Tax Manager and Deloitte paddler for ISCA Games What I treasure most is the team spirit, friendship as well as the care and concern shared among the players, which was evident during the ISCA games. Most of the players stayed back to cheer the team that entered into the finals even though their own game has ended. This was very encouraging as it motivated and supported the players who were fighting hard to win the championship. Liauw Wan Ling, Audit Senior and part of the coaching team Compared to last year, we have a number of new players but we were able to bond well as one team and that was definitely one of the biggest factors that contributed to our wins. We also had great support from our partners, Ernest and Chee Ming, who made the effort to attend our training sessions. Hsu Man Pin, ERS Associate and Team Captain It is really an honour to be a part of the team. The high participation rate and enthusiasm shown by our teammates during the training sessions were encouraging signs that had an immense impact on the overall team mentality. We could not have achieved this remarkable record without the support from our leaders. When we see our partners and managers training alongside with us, this lifted our spirits and further motivated us to give out our best. Wang Tao, Audit Associate and part of the coaching team Having a treble win at the ISCA Games, the CCG and the IPG is remarkable considering that these three tournaments took place over an intensive two-month period which required consistency, dedication and great effort from all the players. To me, this is the English football club equivalent of winning the treble - the English Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champion League in Europe! I really appreciate the commitment and dedication of every player who sacrificed personal time to attend the training sessions despite having such hectic work schedules. Some came late as they had to finish their urgent work first but they still came as they didn t want to let their team down. Special thanks also to our Talent Partner, Gek Choo and her HR team for continuing to help us to recruit well-rounded staff who excel academically and are also strong table tennis players. Ernest Kan, Audit/GIOS Partner and Clients & Markets Leader There was definitely some pressure to defend our title but we made sure that we did not rest on our laurels but instead improved our pre-competition physical and mental conditions to deal with that pressure. The best thing about being part of the team is definitely the bonds that were forged between team members. I feel that everyone really sacrificed a lot of their personal time for training even though it was tough balancing work, sports and studies. Nicholas Koh, Audit Associate and part of the coaching team

3 Spotlight October ISCA table tennis tournament Deloitte sent three teams to compete in the ISCA table tennis tournament which was held on 4 October This year s competition featured nine teams and our Deloitte teams got to a remarkable start in the group stages, with Deloitte 1 comfortably defeating all the teams in Group A to top the table, and Deloitte 3 finishing top of Group B. Having both teams at the top of their groups not only showed the depth of our table tennis squad, but also ensured that our teams did not have to face each other in the semi-finals. Semi-finals Deloitte 1 was up against PwC 1 but were unfazed by the competition, managing an easy 4-0 win to earn a spot in the finals. In the other fixture, Deloitte 3 faced PwC 2 and gave them a tough time by winning the Women s Singles and Mixed Doubles to bring the score to a draw of 2-2. Unfortunately, we lost the Women s Doubles narrowly by a score of 1-3 and Deloitte 3 finished off the competition with a bronze medal. Finals The gold medal match was an intense affair which saw Deloitte 1 winning the Men s Singles and Women s Singles while PwC 2 won the Mixed Doubles and Men Doubles. With the score tied at 2-2, the results were once again to be determined by the final Women s Doubles event. Eventually, Deloitte 1 players Hsu Man Pin and Pang Yu Zhen triumphed over their opponents with a score of 3-0, allowing Deloitte 1 to retain their championship. This year also marks the 16 th time out of the last 17 years that Deloitte has won gold for the ISCA table tennis tournament an incredible record.

A total of 11 teams were divided into three groups with the top two teams proceeding to the quarter-finals. Deloitte 1 managed to triumph over Bank of America Merrill Lynch but narrowly lost to Bloomberg LP, becoming second in their group, while Deloitte 2 defeated all their opponents to finish top of their group. With only three groups in the tournament and thus six teams in the quarter-finals, the qualifying teams took turns to draw lots to see which two teams will go straight into the semi-finals while the remaining four will compete to fight for the remaining two semi-final spots. Deloitte 2 fortunately managed to proceed straight to the semi-finals as a result of the draw while Deloitte 1 convincingly won their quarter-finals with a score of 5-0 to earn themselves a spot in the semi-finals. Semi-finals Having two teams in the semi-finals of the competition was a testament to our teams abilities and the ideal situation would be for both teams to meet in the finals but the fixtures unfortunately placed our teams against each other, meaning that only one could qualify for the finals. Both teams gave it their all but it was Deloitte 2 who eventually beat their colleagues 3-1 to proceed to the finals. Finals In the third placing match, Deloitte 1 faced the team from Sports Singapore but were unable to catch up on the score deficit, losing 1-3 and finishing fourth overall. For the gold medal match, Deloitte 2 were up against the Bloomberg team, which previously beat our Deloitte 1 team in the group stages. Seeking vengeance for their teammates and wanting to defend their title, our Deloitte 2 players showed no mercy in the finals and thrashed the Bloomberg team 4-0 to once again clinch the CCG gold medal in table tennis.

Being a powerhouse in table tennis, four Deloitte paddlers were invited to represent the Accounting sector in the ISCA team. The tournament was played in a round robin format between four teams, as the lawyers pulled out of the competition due to a lack of players. The ISCA team, including Deloitte players Hsu Man Pin, Nicholas Koh, Pang Yu Zhen and Wang Tao, defeated the other sectors and the Accountancy sector proud by bagging the gold medal.

4 4 SG InTouch Spotlight Blazing the pitch at the ISCA futsal tournament Deloitte sent in three teams each to the men s and ladies categories of the ISCA Futsal Tournament and won three medals including the Gold in the ladies category! This exciting event took place on 12 October 2015 at the Kovan Sports Centre. Deloitte men s futsal team Men s Futsal The men s competition saw 19 teams split into 4 groups, with the top 2 teams in each group proceeding to the knock-out stages. Despite there being four groups, the random draw once again placed Deloitte 2 and 3 in the same group, a repeat of last year s draw. Both Deloitte 1 and Deloitte 2 were able to progress to the quarter-finals after topping their groups with three wins and a draw each, improving on last year s performance where only one team made it pass the knock-out stages. The standout player was Deloitte 1 s Gary Yeo, who scored 5 goals from his position as a defender to catch the eye. With a place in the final four at stake, Deloitte 2 gave it their all against PwC s Team 1 and the game stayed at a stalemate through the penalty shootout, which finished 2-2. At this point, a sudden controversial rule change was made by the referee due to time constraints, and a coin toss was taken with the winner getting to decide whether to take or defend one final penalty. After winning the coin toss, PwC s team 1 decided to take the penalty and scored, resulting in Deloitte 2 missing out on a spot in the semi-finals. The quarter-finals match between Deloitte 1 and Commerce was more straightforward, with team captain Nick Chong and Mohammad Raihan exhibiting some nifty footwork which resulted in a 2-0 win and qualified the team for the semi-finals. In what was the most heated game of the day, with a total of five yellow cards given, our Deloitte 1 team faced PwC 1 in the semi-finals which saw Deloitte dominating the game for the first five minutes. Good combination play was seen on the pitch by Gary Yeo, James Walton and goalkeeper Sen Poh Swee, who formed a solid defense line. However, into the sixth minute, our team was down to 4 men due to bad refereeing, after one of the Deloitte players was wrongly sent off by the referee for an innocuous challenge. The injustice was compounded by the referee who awarded PwC 1 a penalty kick despite the alleged foul clearly happening outside the penalty box. Despite putting up a good fight with one player down, they were unable to chase back the goal deficit from the penalty and had to settle for a bronze medal.

Nick Chong, ERS Associate and men s futsal captain Deloitte ladies futsal team Ladies category On the ladies side, Deloitte fielded three teams to compete across two groups with our Deloitte 1 and 2 teams placed in the same group. This meant that the second team had the uphill task of beating all other teams in the group, including a strong Commerce team, who eventually won the silver medal. Undeterred by the grouping, Team 2 managed two wins, a 1-1 draw against the Commerce team, and a narrow defeat of 0-1 to our strong Team 1 which won all their group matches. The results meant that our Deloitte Team 2 and Commerce were tied on points and Team 1 had to score as many goals as possible against Commerce to aid their fellow colleagues in progressing to the next stage. However, five goals proved to be too many in the short span of ten minutes and our Team 2 were unfortunately knocked out of the tournament on goal difference. In the other group, Team 3 stormed off to a good start, winning all their games until they faced last year s silver medallist PwC in their final match, where they lost 2-0. Finishing second in their group meant that Deloitte 3 would meet Deloitte 1 in the semis, a clash neither team had hoped for. Deloitte 3 put up a valiant effort defending incoming shots at goal from national players Deborah Chin and Ho Hui Xin. However, it was Deloitte 1 which eventually qualified for the finals against Commerce after impressively keeping a clean sheet throughout the group stages and semi-finals thanks to solid defending by national defender Angelyn Pang and excellent saves by goalkeeper, Mira Shahidah. Deloitte 3 had to settle for a well-earned bronze medal. In the finals, our Deloitte 1 team dominated the game, with Deborah scoring two goals early on. However, Commerce did not back down from the challenge and scored a goal to stay in the game, with a lofted shot that was just out of the reach of Mira in the Deloitte goal. Our Deloitte ladies stepped up again though and applied the pressure again and sealed the game with a goal from midfielder Jacy Yee, to emerge as ISCA champions for the second year running.

Our coach James also played a great part in guiding all three teams in achieving an impressive showing at this year s ISCA. Mira Shahidah, ERS Associate and ladies futsal captain I m immensely proud again of our ladies although we could not repeat our three medal haul of last year, all three teams put on a great showing and the months of hard work paid off as we retained our title and grabbed a bronze to go with it.

5 Spotlight October ASEAN Para Games: A gift from Deloitte As part of the ASEAN Para Games community outreach programmes, members of the public were invited to join the Gift-A-Nila initiative where they had to sew and decorate heart-shaped mini cushions. These cushions will then be stitched on to Nila plush toys which will be included in the welcome pack for all 3,000 participating athletes and officials at the upcoming Games that will take place from 3 to 9 December As the Official Professional Services Partner and in celebration of SG50, Deloitte organised our very own Gift-A-Nila session on 22 October 2015 with 50 staff including partners such as Country Managing Partner, Philip Yuen, Tax partner Richard Mackender and FA partner, Jamil Syed, joining in this meaningful activity at the D.Lounge. It was an amazing display of our people s creativeness as they painstakingly sewed and decorated the cushions with little hearts, stars, ribbons and sequins that come in Deloitte colours before penning their well-wishes. Deloitte also sent another group of 10 staff to join the Gift-A-Nila activity that took place in conjunction with the ASEAN Para Games Unified Powerlifting Challenge event held at Marina Square central atrium on 24 and 25 October The Deloitte attendees included Singapore Clients & Markets Leader Ernest Kan, Talent Partner Seah Gek Choo, Team Singapore para-athlete for badminton Teddy Wong, Team Singapore Netballer Yu Mei Ling, Team Singapore Sailor Shane Ong, and Team Singapore Fencer Sharmaine Cheung. Together with the Minister for Social and Family Development, Tan Chuan Jin, they each created their own master pieces of art with the extraordinary athletes and officials in mind. Stay tuned for more updates on the ASEAN Para Games, as we count down to the official opening on 3 December It is rewarding to see how Gift-a-Nila has brought individuals from various service lines together to show our support As One Deloitte. Likewise, may our hearts join one another in celebration of these extraordinary athletes. Jonas Kwok, ERS Associate Gift-a-Nila was fun and meaningful and I participated as a salutation to the para athletes who bring tremendous human spirit to the Games and I am proud that Deloitte is taking part in this initiative. Noelene Lim, ERS Senior Manager Building camaraderie at the FA Mid- Autumn Festival celebrations On 23 September 2015, Financial Advisory (FA) organised their annual Mid-Autumn Festival event and invited representatives from the various functions to join in the celebrations. Held at the D.Lounge, the event began with a welcome address by Tam Chee Chong, SEA FA Regional Managing Partner, who encouraged everyone to take this opportunity to get to know each other better. This was followed by the sharing of some interesting mid-autumn festival folklores by the FA staff. All who attended had an enjoyable time bonding with colleagues while tucking into the sumptuous spread of mooncakes and tea. Explained Ivy Cheng, FA Manager, who organised the event, We organised our first FA Mid-Autumn Festival gathering in 2013 to provide our staff with the opportunity to mingle with colleagues from different service lines while getting a taste of local delights. As the African proverb goes, if you want to go quickly, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together. SEA FA Regional Managing Partner Tam Chee Chong delivering his welcome address

6 6 SG InTouch Our people Former Deloitte partner, Sum Yee Loong, continues to make a difference after retirement What are you are currently doing? I am currently a full-time faculty member of the School of Accountancy in the SMU, with the appointment of Professor of Accounting (Practice). I am also the Honorary Technical Advisor (Taxation) of ISCA; Chairman of the Curriculum and Examinations Committee of Tax Academy, Board member of SIATP, Member of Income Tax Board of Review and Council Member of National Arts Council. Do you enjoy what you are doing now? Yes, very much so. I have always been interested in lecturing and that interest began way back in the 1980s during my Deloitte days, where I was an adjunct associate professor at the Nanyang Technological University before moving on to SMU in 2004, also as an adjunct associate professor. I have always found interacting with students very interesting and fulfilling. This is especially so after the initial few weeks of each new term when I am able to strike up good rapport with the students. It is also very satisfying seeing them graduate and embarking on their careers successfully. Do you miss Deloitte and if so, what do you miss most about Deloitte? Yes, definitely. I miss the company of all my Deloitte colleagues and all the fun times we had. I also miss serving my clients and helping them with their tax-related problems and issues. Our former Tax Partner, Sum Yee Loong retired in 2011 after 27 successful years with Deloitte Singapore and went on to become a very popular and well-known professor at the Singapore Management University (SMU). We spoke with Yee Loong recently to find out how he is doing and got to know more about what he remembers most about his time at Deloitte. What are some of your more significant memories in Deloitte? One of my most significant memories is the handing over of the ownership of the predecessor firm, Deloitte Haskins & Sells, from the joint ownership by the US, UK and Australian Deloitte firms to local ownership in Another milestone would be the merger of the Deloitte Haskins & Sells firm with the Touche Ross firm to form Deloitte & Touche in What are your hobbies and interests? Many will know that my interest is the collecting of Chinese antiques, especially Chinese porcelain pieces, and I have been collecting them for over 30 years now. Anything else that you would like to share with Deloitte partners and staff? One thing that I always believe in is that all of us can make a difference. It does not matter at what level you are at in the organisation, you can make a difference. Of course, the higher up you are, the greater difference you can make. Another thing would be that we should always keep an open mind and listen to and ponder over differing views. That is how we can make better decisions and also improve ourselves. Congratulations to Kelvin Wee from Tax The Tax Outstanding Performance Awards rewards employees from the Tax department who have contributed exceptionally to the firm and is presented on a quarterly basis. The winner is selected from a pool of nominees by a panel of three Tax Partners, including Low Hwee Chua, SEA Tax Regional Managing Partner. For the second quarter of 2015, four nominees were shortlisted but it was Tax Senior Kelvin Wee who stood out not only for displaying diligence, a high level of competency and enthusiasm in his course of work, but also for his leadership skills and commitment as a captain of the touch rugby team. It is indeed very heartening to have achieved this award knowing that my efforts are being recognised and appreciated. I am thankful for the support and encouragement that my colleagues and the firm have given me. Kelvin Wee, on winning the Tax Outstanding Performance Award

7 Our people October A warm welcome to Mitsu Vipin Doshi Monochrome sketches done by Mitsu Prior to joining Deloitte as a Forensic Director, Mitsu Vipin Doshi worked primarily on investigations into fraud, corruption and accounting irregularities across Asia. Find out more about the trekking enthusiast who shares with us her passion in hiking and sketching. Tell us briefly about your previous work experiences Before joining the Deloitte family, my key assignments were with Kroll in Singapore and with KPMG in India. Over the last few years, I conducted several white collar crime investigations, anti-corruption reviews and kickback investigations in Asia. On the fraud prevention side I did some interesting work around employee misconduct reviews, corporate governance, ethics and integrity. What are your interests? When I want some me time I sketch, mostly monochromes, or I play music and sing to myself. In recent years, I have also discovered a love for trekking and hiking. While I have not gone on many trips yet, I find that these trekking expeditions with like-minded enthusiasts delight me! Apart from seeing and experiencing great things on these treks, it also fosters a sense of teamwork, nurtures trust and drives personal motivation. Tell us more about your trekking experiences My first trek was in Bali where I was on holiday to celebrate my birthday. My best friend planned a surprise for me and before I knew it, I was trekking up Mount Batur, a 1,717-metre tall volcano at 2am! The terrain was a mix of flat, rocky and sandy terrain and with my average level of fitness, it was a little tough but manageable as we walked slowly and paid close attention to every step we took. Our trek guide was great and we bonded immediately. He had a liking for Bollywood music and we even ended up singing some tunes together on our way. With his guidance, we managed to be the first few to reach the peak and were rewarded with a breath-taking view of the sunrise. It was while sipping hot coffee and munching on bananas above the clouds that I discovered my love for trekking. After that, I did a few group treks, with each leaving me with great memories. I have met people from various walks of life in these treks, who have shared with me stories of their own. Apart from connecting to nature, I have also connected with some beautiful people whom I may never have met otherwise. Share with us more about your family Prior to joining Deloitte, I lived with my parents in Mumbai. I have a younger sister who moved with her husband to Mumbai recently, coincidentally in the same week that I moved to Singapore. She is a creative soul and has picked hobby crafts and gifting as her profession and way of life. While I am not home, my friends are the family I choose for myself. A warm welcome to Kelly Chan What are some of your previous work experiences? In the past five years, I ve gone from working in an MNC to a start-up environment and now to a global organisation. I ve done a variety of data analytics projects for clients across various industries including telecommunications, banking and finance, technology as well as the public sector. By applying a combination of statistical, quantitative methods and information technology, I helped clients transform their businesses by streamlining business processes which allowed executives to gain fresh insights into their businesses. What do you like doing outside of work? Gaming - I m a big fan of Blizzard s games and DOTA. Other than that, I like traveling, cooking, baking, singing and Bachata, a style of social dance that originated from the Dominican Republic. I came to know about Bachata when I took an introductory footwork class at the Esplanade and really liked the dance style! So I took more lessons to learn about the dance techniques and had the chance to show what I have learned during my wedding banquet, where my husband and I choreographed a routine and trained tirelessly for three months to prepare for it! Places I ve visited include Taipei, where I relived my childhood at a Doraemon exhibition, and Korea, where I ice-skated at an outdoor rink. Kelly Chan joined Deloitte on 12 October 2015 as a Data Analytics Manager and has previously worked for a variety of companies including HRBoss and NCS. We took the chance to catch up with Kelly and find out more about her interest and hobbies. Tell us more about your family I am the little one in the family as both my sister and brother are more than a decade older. I was told that I am not an accident (dubious) because the government started encouraging couples to have more kids in my birth year. My parents are very strict and it is almost impossible to get away with occasional playfulness despite being the little one. Share with us one interesting thing about yourself I have this really serious and geeky face when I m playing computer games especially when manoeuvring tough raids, my face says Do not disturb, I m gaming!
