2 DDTC Professionals Further Study IP & Transfer Pricing in Singapore
SINGAPORE, DDTCNews - DDTC has once again sent its professionals to Singapore to participate in a competency development programme organised by the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) International and the Tax Academy of Singapore.
On this occasion, DDTC Consulting Senior Manager Khisi Armaya Dhora and DDTC Consulting Manager Wulan Clara Kartini arrived in Singapore to participate in the programme entitled Integrated IP, Valuation & Tax (IIVT): A Strategic Toolkit for Decision-Makers.
Khisi and Wulan are scheduled to attend the third module of the IIVT over 1 day, namely on 7 October 2026. Meanwhile, DDTC Consulting Senior Manager Muhammad Putrawal Utama arrived in Singapore earlier to attend the full IIVT series over 3 days.
The IIVT takes place from 5–7 October 2026. The programme addresses the interrelationship between intellectual property (IP) strategy, intangible asset valuation and tax aspects in business decision-making.
On the first day, Putrawal attended the IP Strategy & Value Creation module. He then attended the Valuing Intangibles for Strategic Decisions module on the second day.
Moving into the third day, Putrawal, Khisi and Wulan will attend the same module, namely Module 3: Tax, Transfer Pricing, and Cross-Border Risk Management.
That module covers 4 areas of learning. First, Tax Structuring: Aligning IP/IA and Business Models with Retired Big 4 Partner Chester Wee.
Second, Tax Due Diligence in M&A and Restructuring with Deloitte Executive Director Daniel Ho. Third, Transfer Pricing, Tax Treaties & Dispute Resolution with KPMG Partner Yong Sing Yuan.
Fourth, Integrated Case Studies & Panel Discussion - Aligning Value Creation and Tax Outcome with Executive Vice President, Singapore Economic Development Board Jillian Lim.
The participation of DDTC professionals in the IIVT continues DDTC's involvement in various competency development programmes in Singapore. Previously, DDTC sent a number of professionals to attend the WU-TA Advanced Transfer Pricing Programme 2026 organised by the WU Transfer Pricing Center and the Tax Academy of Singapore from 28 September–1 October 2026.
This participation forms part of the Human Resource Development Programme (HRDP) that DDTC consistently runs. Through this programme, DDTC provides its professionals with the opportunity to attend various competency development programmes, both domestically and overseas.
All costs of participation in these programmes are borne by DDTC with no service bond attached. Support for competency development is also provided through various professional training courses and full scholarships to pursue master's degrees at leading universities worldwide.
The HRDP represents one form of implementation of DDTC's mission to invest in human resources. This mission is aligned with DDTC's vision of becoming a tax institution grounded in research, technology and knowledge that sets the standards and beyond.
DDTC Founder Darussalam stated that DDTC consistently provides its professionals with opportunities to enhance their competency through various education and training programmes, both domestically and overseas.
In his view, the participation of DDTC professionals in these various programmes is expected to broaden their perspectives whilst strengthening competency in keeping abreast of developments in knowledge and tax practice at the global level. (dik)
