Abstract:
China Aviation Oil (CAO), voted as the most transparent company listed on Singapore Exchange, had collapsed because of a $550 million loss in speculative oil trading in 2004. This was the second major derivative scandal at the Singapore Exchange. The first one was the collapse of UK's Barings Bank in 1995. The derivatives scandal raised considerable concern on the creditability of Singapore as a secure financial destination, which until then had the reputation of being Asia's best-regulated financial centre. Also, questions were raised about corporate transparency among Chinese companies and the role of independent directors.
Pedagogical Objectives:
- To discuss to impact of CAO scandal on the credibility of Singapore as to a secure financial destination.
