Editorial Policy

What we publish

The HeyBen blog explains accounting, payroll, tax, and company secretary topics for SMEs operating in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. We aim for practical, jurisdiction-correct guidance that a founder or finance lead can act on — not legal advice.

Sourcing standards

Compliance-adjacent articles must cite primary authorities with outbound links. Typical sources include:

• Hong Kong Companies Registry, Inland Revenue Department, and HKMA
• Singapore ACRA and IRAS
• Malaysia SSM and LHDN / IRBM
• Indonesia DJP and related ministry guidance
• Official gazettes, statutes, and regulator circulars

We do not invent deadlines, thresholds, or case studies. When a figure is uncertain, we say so and point readers to the official source.

Review and authorship

Every published post lists a named author with a public profile (role and bio). Drafts may be assisted by tools, but a human editor is responsible for accuracy, citations, and jurisdiction checks before publish.

Corrections

If you find an error — especially a filing date, rate, or statutory requirement — contact us via the contact page. Material corrections are updated in the article; significant changes may be noted in the body when they affect reader decisions.

Independence

HeyBen is an AI accounting product for SMEs. Product mentions in blog posts are limited and labelled as soft CTAs. Editorial recommendations about filing rules and regulators are not paid placements.
