Deloitte’s move to adjust its starting salaries supports the government’s plans to strengthen the attractiveness of the accountancy sector and grow Singapore’s pool of skilled accounting professionals. 

It also supports recommendations by the Accountancy Workforce Review Committee set up by the Ministry of Finance.

“With these adjustments, the annual salary package for fresh graduates joining Deloitte as auditors will increase by up to 20% from the current annual salary package,” the professional services firm said.

“Including these salary adjustments, the overall investment made by Deloitte to nurture audit talent within their first five years with the firm from 1 September 2024 will amount to around S$62m,” Deloitte said.
