Direct Answer
What should an insurance board know about governance in Singapore?
Singapore insurers operate under MAS supervision in a framework where enterprise risk, technology resilience, critical systems and management accountability are material governance issues. Boards should ensure that digital growth and operational change are supported by documented risk frameworks, clear ownership, resilient systems and evidence that customer service and control effectiveness remain protected.
