About Us

Though established in 2009, Integrita was first mooted in 2003 by a number of founder member firms in Singapore and Malaysia. It aspires to be an international independent multi-disciplinary resource network of accounting, audit, business consulting, corporate secretarial, executive training, finance, human resource, legal, outsourcing and taxation professionals. Integrita is arguably the fastest growing resource network in the Asia Pacific region.

Integrita aims to provide a readily available, well organized, world-wide professional business resource network for corporate and individual clients wishing to extend their operations abroad. Integrita itself does not carry out professional activities. Its principal objective is to provide a common platform for its members to provide services for their clients on an international basis.

To this end the member firms have agreed to pursue a common purpose, the main features of which are to promote and further the exchange of information, particularly relating to tax, finance and legal matters, and to develop compatible working practices. Integrita is thus an administrative link for member firms, which carry out their work under their own responsibility and in accordance with their own national legislation and ethics. Nevertheless, each member draws on the services and resources of the Integrita member firms to better serve their clients and manage their own firms.

Integrita is designed for small to medium size professional firms to create certain economies of scale for service specialization. Our members are among the most dynamic professional firms in each country, convinced that today business is global, and showing their clients through membership in Integrita that they are ready to provide a distinguished national and international service.

Member firms must demonstrate a high level of competence and quality to become a member of Integrita, as the high level of quality and close co-operation between the members ensures a comprehensive worldwide service for clients.
