Event Speaker
Mr Darren N T Koh
Associate Professor, Head of the Master of Taxation Programme, SIM University
Darren has a keen interest in international taxation, particularly in the field of transfer pricing and the tax efficient supply-chain structuring. Besides being a member of the Bar of England and Wales, Darren is also a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, the Chartered Institute of Taxation (United Kingdom), the Malaysian Institute of Accountants and the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants. Darren’s interest in international tax is reflected in his comprehensive career starting with PricewaterhouseCoopers in London and later at KPMG in Hong Kong before he moved to the industry with Procter & Gamble (P&G). He also spent two years with a branch of the United Nations Security Council known as the United Nations Compensation Commission, advising Commissioners on the verification and valuation of war reparation claims filed against Iraq after the first Gulf War. He returned to P&G after his stint at the UN, and later left P&G as Associate Director for the ASEAN/Australasia/India region to pursue a career in academia. Darren’s other passion is in education and training, and is always seeking ways to inspire people on the fact that tax is not boring!
