The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Singapore Financial<br />

Reporting Standards (“FRS”) including related Interpretations promulgated by the Council on Corporate Disclosure and<br />

FRS 39 (Amendment) Financial Guarantee Contracts<br />

INT FRS 104 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease<br />

The adoption of the above FRS and INT FRS did not result in any significant changes to the Society’s accounting policies.<br />
