Director-led in Singapore, since 1978.
Medora is the practising name of JK Medora PAC, a Singapore firm of ACRA-registered Public Accountants. The practice serves foreign-owned Singapore subsidiaries, regional headquarters, and single family offices, with cross-border reach through working relationships with firms worldwide, including memberships of DFK International and LEA Global. An audit opinion is a personal signature backed by a firm, and the people behind Medora's signatures are on the record.
Institutional depth, senior accountability.
Four decades of audit, tax, and advisory work for foreign-owned Singapore groups, family office vehicles, and fund management companies have built an institutional practice book, grown through long-standing referral relationships rather than acquisition. Every engagement is director-led, and the senior people who plan the work are the ones who sign it.
Cross-border depth comes through working relationships with firms worldwide, from the Big 4 to independent local practices, and through memberships of two international associations, DFK International and LEA Global. Membership of an association is not a regulatory status; Medora's standing rests on its ACRA registration and the credentials of its people. What the memberships add is a vetted counterpart in most jurisdictions where the practice has not worked before.
The person clients engage.
Xerxes J. Medora
Xerxes leads the practice and every engagement in it. His audit and assurance work runs from SMEs to international groups reporting under IFRS and IAS, alongside SOX engagements, grant audits, control reviews, and Type II reports. He leads the firm's insolvency and forensic work personally: the case register on that page is his, including compulsory windings up with cross-border asset tracing, investigations reported to CPIB, and reports to the Court of Singapore.
He has been a member of the Insolvency Practitioners Association of Singapore since 2018, and was appointed by the High Court of Singapore to the legal profession Inquiry Panel for 2022 to 2023 and 2025 to 2027. He served on the DFK International valuation committee in 2021 and 2022.
Outside the firm he is Chairman of LEA Global Asia Pacific and of the LEA Global audit and assurance committee, and sits on the DFK International audit and assurance committee, since 2014, and the DFK Asia Pacific committee.
Small by design, senior throughout.
Behind the Managing Director sits a full team of qualified professionals: audit directors and managers, a tax department headed by a senior tax manager with more than 30 years of international tax experience, and the insolvency and forensic bench that runs the firm's liquidations and investigations. Every member of the team is qualified and experienced. The practice carries no trainees, interns, or associates.
A firm with this client base would usually run twice the headcount. Medora keeps the qualified layer only, so the person on your file is the person who does the work, and the answer to a question comes from someone who has seen it before. Every engagement is staffed in-house. Nothing is outsourced.
Members of the team hold committee roles in the firm's two international associations, run audit update webinars for member firms of both, and audit MNCs with group reporting packages, fund management companies reporting to MAS, and groups in sectors from shipping to crypto.
