PREFACE
The Singapore Department of Statistics has been conducting the Survey of
Financial Structure and Operations of Companies annually to facilitate the analysis of
the structure and performance of the corporate sector. Data on Singapore’s corporate
sector are compiled from financial accounts of companies. These data were first
released in the publication Singapore’s Corporate Sector, 1980-1989 in 1992. Since
then, annual data from the survey has been released periodically in the same publication
and relevant occasional papers.
The latest survey was carried out in 2017/18 for reference year 2016. The
report, Singapore’s Corporate Sector 2016, which contains the key findings of the
survey, is presented in two sections. The first section discusses the composition of the
balance sheet, the sectoral distribution of total equity and assets, and financial
performance of Singapore’s corporate sector. A technical note to explain the source,
scope and coverage of data, as well as the concepts and definitions of terms used, is
provided in the second section.
I would like to express my appreciation to the companies which have provided
information for the survey and all others who have contributed towards the completion
of this publication.

Total assets in the corporate
sector are categorized into
two main classes, namely (a)
current assets and (b) non-
current assets. As at end
2016, current assets (55.8
per cent) constituted the
largest proportion of total
assets while the remaining
was non-current assets (44.2
per cent) (Chart 4).
Chart 4: Composition of Balance Sheet
(As at end 2016)
In terms of total assets, the
share of the financial &
insurance sector was also the
largest, accounting for over
two-thirds (68.1 per cent or
$5,107 billion) of the
corporate sector’s total
assets as at end 2016. Other
sectors such as wholesale &
retail trade (11.2 per cent or
$841 billion), real estate (5.3
per cent or $399 billion) and
manufacturing (4.8 per cent
or $357 billion) also held
significant assets (Chart 3).
The sources of capital for these assets consist of (i) current liabilities, (ii) non-current
liabilities and (iii) total equity. As at end 2016, about one-third (34.6 per cent) of total
assets was financed by equity capital. Other important sources of capital were current
liabilities (49.2 per cent) and non-current liabilities (16.2 per cent).

Total equity in the financial & insurance sector increased from $1,428 billion as at end
2015 to $1,519 billion as at end 2016. The main contributors of the increase are the
investment holding companies which accounted for the majority (71.7 per cent or $1,090
billion) of total equity in this sector (Chart 5).
Total assets of the financial & insurance sector expanded from $4,927 billion to $5,107
billion over the same period. Within the financial & insurance sector, banks accounted for
the largest amount of assets (50.7 per cent or $2,590 billion) although its share of total
equity in this sector was 21.0 per cent (or $320 billion) (Chart 6). This was mainly
attributed to banks holding large amount of liquid assets as part of their business
operations.

Performance of the Corporate Sector
Return on Total Assets (ROA) 1
1 The rate of Return on Total Assets (ROA) is defined as the ratio of pre-tax profit to total assets. Detailed
definition and formula for ROA are provided in the Technical Notes.
Overall ROA of the corporate
sector increased slightly from
3.7 per cent in 2015 to 4.0 per
cent in 2016. Over the past 5
years, the ROA ranged
between 3.5 per cent and 5.0
per cent. (Chart 9).
The highest ROA in 2016 was
registered by the manufacturing
sector (13.4 per cent), up from
11.6 per cent in 2015 (Chart

trade sector had the second
highest ROA at 5.9 per cent,
down from 6.7 per cent in
2015, followed by the business
services excluding real estate

Objective
The data presented in this report are compiled from the results of the Survey of
Financial Structure and Operations of Companies conducted annually by the Department
of Statistics. The data are used by policy makers, researchers, business community and
other interested users to analyse the financial structure and performance of the various
sectors in the economy.
Legal Authority
The survey is conducted under the Statistics Act (Chapter 317), which makes the
submission of returns mandatory. Individual returns received are kept in confidence in
accordance with the Statistics Act.
Scope and Coverage
The survey covered companies incorporated or registered in Singapore and
Singapore branches of foreign-incorporated companies.
Sample Selection
The sampling frame is based on the list of ‘live’ enterprises obtained from the
Department’s establishment database. The database is updated regularly using information
obtained from administrative and survey sources.
The sampling method for the survey was based on stratified random sampling. All
enterprises in the sampling frame were stratified by activity and company asset size.
Enterprises with large assets were selected with certainty (take-all stratum). Smaller
enterprises were selected using simple random sampling without replacements from the
remaining strata (take-some strata).
The Lavallée and Hidiroglou method was used to determine the size stratum
boundaries and sample sizes that minimise the total sample size required to achieve the target
level of precision of estimation.
TECHNICAL NOTES SINGAPORE’S CORPORATE SECTOR 2016

Data Collection
Data were sourced from financial accounts of companies covered in the survey
which had up-to-date financial accounts lodged with ACRA and other administrative
sources. Relevant data were extracted from balance sheet, income statement and notes of
financial accounts of surveyed enterprises.
Data Processing
The Department processed enterprise financial accounts received using the
conventional data entry method. All data of completed returns were then computer-edited
for code validity, completeness and consistency to detect errors and inconsistencies. The
erroneous data would be amended and re-processed. Tabulation was carried out only after
all records had passed the computer editing.
Enumeration Unit
The enumeration or reporting unit used in the survey is the "enterprise". Singapore
branches of foreign-incorporated companies are also included. Every enterprise was
treated as a distinct entity and its own financial accounts were analyzed. For enterprises
with branches, the consolidated accounts of the enterprise and its branches were used.
Year of Reference
The period of reference is the calendar year. However, for enterprises whose
accounting year differed from the calendar year, the accounting or financial year covering
the major part of the calendar year was used.
Type of Business Activity
Type of business activity refers to the principal activity undertaken by the
enterprise. The principal activity is defined as the one in which the enterprise devotes
most of its resources or from which it derives most of its income. The classification of
the principal activity of the enterprise is based on the “Singapore Standard Industrial
Classification, 2015”.
TECHNICAL NOTES SINGAPORE’S CORPORATE SECTOR 2016

Currency Valuation
Singapore’s corporate sector statistics are expressed in Singapore dollars.
Financial data expressed in foreign currency are converted to Singapore dollars as at end
of the reference period for balance sheet assets and liabilities data and the average of the
reference period for income and expenses data.
Accounting Concepts and Definitions
In general, financial accounts prepared by Singapore companies are in accordance
to Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) as required by the Companies Act
(Chapter 50). Companies can seek exemption under the Act to prepare their financial
statements in conformity with other international accounting principles, most notably
United States Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles (US GAAP).
The lack of a widely accepted standard classification of financial items
necessitates the preparation of one in order to present information in a homogenous way
for all entities. The financial items and their presentation are largely aligned to those
prescribed in ACRA taxonomy.
TECHNICAL NOTES SINGAPORE’S CORPORATE SECTOR 2016

Definition of Terms
Total Assets Assets refer to items controlled by the enterprise as a result of past
events and from which future economic benefits are expected to
flow to the entity. Examples include property, plant and equipment,
investment in subsidiaries/associates and cash & cash equivalent.
Total Liabilities Liabilities are present obligations of the enterprise arising from
past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an
outflow from the enterprise of resources embodying economic
benefits. Examples include loans, trade payables and deposits
(applicable for financial institutions only).
Total Equity
Total equity comprises mainly share capital, retained earnings and
other reserves. For Singapore branches of foreign-incorporated
companies, the net amount owed by Singapore branches to the
foreign head offices are used as proxies for their equity.
Share Capital Share capital refers to the amount contributed by shareholders
through the issue of shares.
Profit before Tax Profit before tax is the total of incomes less expenses. It comprises
two broad components, i.e. operating and non-operating income
such as gain or loss on disposal of net assets.
TECHNICAL NOTES SINGAPORE’S CORPORATE SECTOR 2016
11
Equity Ratio
The equity ratio is defined as:
Total equity
Total assets
This ratio measures the dependence of the company on external
funding, i.e. funding which is not from its shareholders or its
overseas headquarters in the case of local branch of a foreign-
incorporated company. The higher the company’s dependence on
external funding, the lower the ratio.
Current Ratio
The current ratio is defined as:
Current assets
Current liabilities
This ratio measures the liquidity of the company, i.e. its ability to
meet current debt payments when due. A ratio of 1 indicates that
the company has balanced exactly its current liabilities with
current assets. The lower the ratio is below 1, the higher is the risk
of the company running into a liquidity problem. A ratio above 1
indicates liquidity in the company.
Rate of Return on
Total Assets (ROA)
The rate of return on total assets is defined as
Pre-tax profit before deducting interest payments in the year
Average of total assets at the beginning and end of the year
This ratio measures the efficiency of the company in its use of
assets to generate earnings. Interest payments are not deducted
from earnings as they are the cost of financing business capital
rather than an operating cost. The resulting ratio measures the
earning capacity of the company’s assets regardless of how the
assets are financed.

Rate of Return on
Total Equity (ROE)
The rate of return on total equity is defined as
Pre-tax profit in the year
Average of total equity at the beginning and end of the year
This ratio measures the company’s profitability, i.e. the rate of
return that the company has earned on the capital provided by the
shareholders after accounting for payments to all other providers
of capital.
