Why does TGS Need to Have a Strong Presence in Asia Pacific?

Based on the research obtained, currently, 60% of the world's population is spread in the Asia Pacific region, which by 2040 more than 40% of the world's GDP is in Asia Pacific, and Asia Pacific has contributed 70% of global economic growth in 2022. Asia Pacific region is believed to be a strong economic driver, such as in China, India, and Southeast Asia with driving sectors in technology, manufacturing, consumers, services, and infrastructure development. With this rapid economic growth, of course, it requires support services from accounting firms or offices.

Opportunities and Issues Faced

The development and expansion of the business network are certainly inseparable from the problems and opportunities that will be faced. The opportunity to develop TGS Asia Pacific is motivated by increasing capital market activity, where the top 5 (five) IPOs in 2022 are in the Asia Pacific and the high capital market activity in Southeast Asia has increased to 7% of 4% of global fundraising, and the rapid emergence of technological innovation (AI) which makes the implementation of activities automated.

The increase in Environmental Social Governance (ESG) activities or sustainability and green financing is one of the backgrounds for the development of TGS Asia Pacific business network. In addition to opportunities, there are often problems that will be faced, such as the increasing number of cases of cybersecurity problems.

TGS Asia Pacific wants to achieve significant growth in:

  • Market visibility

  • TGS firm revenue

  • Client referrals between TGS APAC members

  • Business cooperation between members

  • Cross-border fundraising, ESG, sustainability, and cybersecurity advisory and consulting services

Mikail Jaman, Ak., M.Ak., CA., CPA., CPI as managing partner of TGS AU Partners as well as the leader of TGS Asia Pacific believes that "With the various potentials that exist in the Asia Pacific market, in terms of human resources must be prepared to face the opportunities that exist in the global/international market. For all TGS firms in Asia Pacific, we already have a very valuable cooperation relationship as a strong foundation to optimize business performance and be able to provide the best service in the field of audit, accounting, tax, and other business consulting for clients/markets in need."
