Yea, turns out that’s too much effort for other ey teams too, don’t bother sending. It’s easier that way

No, no one else has ever sent out confirmations to Singapore. Everyone else just trusts the client to not lie about those balances. /s

Lots of countries make you send by mail. In China they make the auditor go out to the bank (so we have to get someone in the China office to do it for us).

Send by mail and send them the scanned version as well and start calling them when you get close to deadline (like a week or so before)
