Artificial Intelligence is rapidly disrupting accounting — transforming compliance, reshaping trade policy, and creating a new generation of governance risks. As Director and Head of Nexia Singapore’s Risk Advisory Services team, and its centre of excellence, GRAi (Governance, Risk, and AI governance), Edwin Hooi is guiding the firm and its clients through this transformation.
With over 25 years of expertise in audit, governance, and enterprise risk management – and strengthened by expertise in cybersecurity - Mr. Hooi is leading Nexia’s risk advisory practice, steering its strategic direction while helping organisations navigate emerging threats and seize new opportunities. Recognizing AI as a global regulatory disruptor, his mission is to stay ahead of AI governance, enabling clients to act decisively in a rapidly evolving landscape.
The challenge was formidable:
Developments from global markets focused on niche policy and regulatory measures are often lost in multilingual sources or specialized forums without a system designed to capture them.
Emerging Trajectories (ET) partnered with Mr. Hooi to create a custom AI Regulation & Compliance Daily Report, powered by ET’s AI analyst platform and tuned to his strategic requirements.
The solution delivers:
Local-language insights others miss
Integration into Nexia’s risk advisory DNA
Supporting Nexia’s leadership position
In a volatile technological environment of shifting risks and mounting policy developments, Emerging Trajectories gives Mr. Hooi and Nexia Singapore PAC a strategic intelligence advantage. ET surfaces early signals, translates hard-to-access local developments, and delivers them in a structured, ranked format tailored to the firm’s priorities. For Mr. Hooi, it has elevated AI governance from a reactive challenge to a proactive driver of the firm’s leadership in risk advisory.
