What we doPrices

AI-powered, human-led · Singapore

Smarter operations.
Stronger governance.
Sustainable growth.

Advisory for growing SMEs: improving payment collections, accounting and finance processes, protecting personal data and strengthening sustainability practices. So management can focus on growth.

A customer sends a vendor questionnaire. An investor asks who approves payments. A large customer asks for last year's emissions figure.

There is nobody in your company whose job this is, and there never will be a full-time one. That is who this practice is built for.

The Diagnostic — our own questionnaire, which you answer — opens shortly. Nothing on this page collects your details, and every price below is final.

Schematic diagram: one questionnaire sheet feeding three registers, some cells filled and some left empty.
Fig. 1 — One questionnaire, three registers. The filled cells are what a company can already evidence. The empty ones are what a reviewer asks for next.

PDPA

PDPA and data governance

What personal data you hold, who is accountable for it, and what happens in the first days of a breach.

Finance and Operations

Finance operations and governance advisory

How money moves and who approves it: collections, invoicing, payment approvals, month-end close and management reporting.

Sustainability

Sustainability readiness

What you will put in writing when a large customer, a lender or a tender asks you for figures.

§01

Four options today, and all four are bad

This is the position of a 20-to-200-person Singapore company the week a questionnaire lands.

01

Do nothing

The questionnaire goes back half-answered and the deal quietly stalls.

02

Free templates and the PDPC starter kit

Documents with no judgement, nothing tailored to you, and no evidence trail.

03

Buy compliance software

A platform to learn and operate, priced for a role you have not hired.

04

Engage a consultancy

A proposal, a scoping call, a day rate, and four to eight weeks of waiting.

The pain is not that you do not know the rules. It is that nobody will do a small, bounded, expert piece of work for a small, bounded, published price.

Data, money and emissions are also sold by three different vendors. So you are asked to run three procurements to answer one set of questions.

§02

What is inside each of the three

Three pillars, one practice. Most companies start with one, and the second follows from what the first one finds.

PDPA

PDPA and data governance

  • ·PDPA health checks
  • ·Personal-data inventories and data-flow mapping
  • ·Access, retention and disposal controls
  • ·Data-breach readiness
  • ·Vendor and data-processing reviews
  • ·Staff awareness and practical implementation

Finance and Operations

Finance operations and governance advisory

  • ·Payment collection and accounts receivable
  • ·Invoicing and billing workflows
  • ·Accounts payable and payment approval controls
  • ·Cash-flow visibility and forecasting
  • ·Month-end close and reconciliation
  • ·Delegation of authority and segregation of duties
  • ·Procurement and expense processes
  • ·Accounting policies, procedures and documentation
  • ·Management reporting and finance governance
  • ·Finance-system and workflow improvement

This is not accounting services. Your accountant keeps the books. We fix the process and the controls those books are produced from.

Sustainability

Sustainability readiness

  • ·Sustainability maturity assessments
  • ·ESG governance and policies
  • ·Data collection and evidence processes
  • ·Supplier and customer questionnaire support
  • ·Sustainability controls and reporting readiness
  • ·Larger-client, lender and tender requirements

  • Internal controls design and testing
  • Internal audit
  • Regulatory assessments and gap analysis
  • Anti-bribery and corruption
  • AML/CFT

  • Risk assessments and risk registers
  • Remediation tracking and management reporting
§03

Where this fits best

Three kinds of Singapore company, and the specific pressure each one arrives with.

A

Technology and SaaS

Growth outruns the finance process: delayed collections, weak approval workflows, subscription-billing issues and fragmented systems. Customer due diligence arrives early and keeps arriving.

What matters most

Billing and payment collections. Revenue and receivable controls. Finance-system and workflow reviews. PDPA and data governance. Sustainability readiness. Internal controls and audit readiness.

B

Professional and business services

People- and process-dependent, with finance concentrated in a founder, a finance manager or a small admin team. Client onboarding carries the risk.

What matters most

Invoicing and collections. Expense and payment processes. Project billing and profitability reporting. Month-end close and reconciliations. PDPA. Contract and client onboarding. Anti-bribery, conflicts and fraud controls.

C

Wholesale, distribution and cross-border trading

Working-capital pressure, inventory exposure, supplier risk and cross-border payments, with customer and distributor due diligence on top.

What matters most

Receivables and collections. Supplier payments and procurement. Inventory and purchasing controls. Cash-flow and working-capital processes. PDPA. Sustainability and supply-chain readiness. Fraud, sanctions, AML/CFT and anti-bribery.

§04

Four steps, and the first two cost nothing

You do not send us your customer's questionnaire. You answer ours, and it turns into the answers you owe them.

    The Diagnostic

    Our own questionnaire, written for you to answer. About 18 plain questions, 6 to 10 per Domain, answerable from memory. No signup.

  2. 02Immediate, free

    The Readiness Scorecard

    A score out of 100 per Domain, every gap named, and the deal or questionnaire each one is holding up.

  3. 03S$690 per Domain

    The Readiness Report

    Every gap written up as a finding: the fact, the rule it maps to, what it blocks, and the first action with an owner.

  4. 04S$1,800, gap closure

    The Governance Baseline

    One consolidated remediation plan, the policy and register drafts to adopt, and the controls layer that connects your Domains.

Specimen Readiness Scorecard

45-person Singapore software company

A customer has sent them a vendor questionnaire, and an investor has sent a due-diligence checklist. This is what the free Scorecard tells them before they buy anything.

PDPA48/100

4 gaps, 2 rated High

No written breach response process, and nobody named to run it.

Blocks question 7 of the customer's vendor security questionnaire.

Finance and Operations61/100

3 gaps, 1 rated High

One person can create a supplier and release its payment.

Blocks the payment-controls section of an investor's due-diligence checklist.

Sustainability22/100

2 gaps, none rated High

No record of electricity or fuel use outside the invoices themselves.

Blocks the first figure a large customer's sustainability questionnaire asks for.

The filled part of each bar is what this company can already evidence. The rest is what a reviewer would still ask for. Nine gaps in total, three of them rated High, each one named with the deal or questionnaire it is holding up.

§05

What a Finding actually says

Three specimen findings, one per Domain. Each states the fact, the rule it maps to, the deal it blocks, and the first move.

PDPA-04PDPAHigh

Your breach response process is not written down, and nobody is named to assess or notify.

Obligation
The PDPA requires you to assess a data breach and notify the PDPC within 3 calendar days of deciding it is notifiable.
Commercial impact
This is question 7 of a standard vendor security questionnaire, and it is holding up the enterprise contract.
Action
Adopt the breach response procedure drafted for you, and name the assessor and the notifier.
Owner and effort
Operations lead · Days
FIN-02Finance and OperationsMedium

One person raises a new supplier, approves the invoice and releases the payment.

Obligation
Duties across purchase-to-pay are separated, and payments above a set limit need a second approver: the standard reviewers expect in a team of any size.
Commercial impact
This is the first thing an investor's due-diligence checklist asks about payment controls.
Action
Split supplier creation from payment release, and set a second approver above S$10,000.
Owner and effort
Finance lead · Hours
SUS-01SustainabilityLow

Electricity and fuel consumption is held in invoices only, not in a register.

Obligation
Scope 1 and 2 figures must trace back to a source record before a reviewer will accept them.
Commercial impact
A large customer's supplier sustainability questionnaire asks for last year's total.
Action
Open the emissions register and enter 12 months of meter and fuel data.
Owner and effort
Office manager · Hours

Specimen content for a fictional company. A Readiness Report carries your own findings, drawn from your own answers.

§06

Every price, on the page

One-time purchases, in Singapore dollars, through hosted checkout. Nothing renews on its own.

Readiness Scorecard

A score out of 100 per Domain, every gap named, and what each one is holding up.

Free

Readiness Report

One Domain. Every gap written up as a finding, with its severity, the obligation it maps to, what it blocks, and the first action.

S$690

per Domain

Governance Baseline

Gap closure. One consolidated remediation plan with an owner and an effort estimate for every gap, the policy and register drafts to adopt, and the controls and governance layer across the Domains you have assessed.

S$1,800

Re-assessment

The same report again after you have closed the gaps, dated, to show a customer or an investor.

S$390

Advisory Pass

Twelve months, founder-delivered, scoped to remediating the gaps in your reports plus one currency review of your position.

S$5,000

12 months

The Governance Baseline is not a cheaper way to buy three Readiness Reports. Each Domain is assessed by its own Report, at S$690. The Baseline is the work of closing what those reports found.

What is included

Adviser review of every report before it is issued, within 2 business days. One revision at no charge if a finding is wrong for your business.

What is not included

Unlimited general advisory. Legal advice. A statutory audit. Anything outside Singapore, until the Malaysia rulebook is published.

§07

Who does the work

ValueSpring GRC is led by an ex-Big 4 qualified accountant and auditor with 15+ years' corporate experience, qualified in privacy and sustainability.

AI-powered, human-led. Software does the structuring, the scoring and the first draft. A qualified adviser makes every judgement and signs every report.

Every finding is mapped to a named obligation or control objective in a maintained Singapore rulebook, versioned by month. Nothing is guessed.

Reports are written to survive being read by the reviewer on the other side of the questionnaire. That is the only test that matters.

One questionnaire, and you will know where you stand.

We are writing the questionnaire so you do not have to. About 18 plain questions across the three Domains, then a free Readiness Scorecard with every gap named.

It opens shortly. Until it does, write to us with what a customer, an investor or a lender has asked you for, and you will get a plain reply about what it needs.
