The Companies Act is the cornerstone of Singapore corporate law. It sets out shareholder rights, directors’ duties, shareholder agreements, meeting procedures, annual general meetings, and remedies for unfair prejudice and minority oppression.

Publicly listed companies must also comply with the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Code of Corporate Governance and the Singapore Exchange Listing Rules. Together, these frameworks promote transparency, accountability, and the protection of shareholder interests through disclosure obligations, governance principles, oversight requirements, and enforcement mechanisms.
