The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) will make history by leading Singapore’s accountancy profession in the National Day Parade (NDP) 2026. This marks the first time the profession will be represented in the parade, featuring a civilian contingent of accountants, aspiring Chartered Accountants, students, educators, and partners from across the sector.
The contingent, led by ISCA Council member Koh Wee Kwang, includes representatives from 10 partner organisations, such as public sector agencies, professional services firms, and institutes of higher learning. This diverse group highlights the profession’s role in upholding trust and accountability in Singapore’s economy.
Ng Heng Kuan, a Chartered Accountant of Singapore and Reserve Contingent Commander, expressed the significance of this opportunity. “Taking part in NDP has given me the chance to reflect on my journey in the profession and to contribute in a different way,” he said. Vincent Lye Kim Hee, a Finance Manager and SCAQ candidate, added, “NDP has shown me another side of teamwork, one built on discipline, trust, and shared commitment.”
As Singapore celebrates its 61st year of independence, ISCA’s participation underscores the accountancy profession’s contributions to nation-building. ISCA President Lee Boon Teck remarked, “Marching at NDP is a meaningful way to recognise those contributions and to show younger Singaporeans that accountancy is a profession with purpose.”
ISCA’s involvement aims to inspire young Singaporeans to consider careers in accountancy, highlighting the diverse opportunities within the field.
