The Fiji Public Trustee Corporation Pte Ltd (FPTCL) plays a pivotal role in ensuring financial security for families in Fiji, managing approximately 5,000 wills and more than 1,300 estates. This important function was highlighted during a recent meeting between Minister for Public Enterprises, Charan Jeath Singh, and the FPTCL board of directors, who discussed the need for sustainability and growth within the organization.
Minister Singh commended FPTCL for its efforts to modernize operations with the introduction of the Trust Administration Core Accounting Systems (TACAS). He emphasized that this initiative marks a crucial step in enhancing internal procedures and improving overall service delivery. “By replacing outdated systems with a centralized online platform, you are boosting internal efficiency and setting the stage for better services for the people of Fiji,” he remarked.
Looking forward, Singh endorsed FPTCL’s plans to establish a client self-service portal, while reminding the board that sustainability should remain a primary focus. “The Government is committed to supporting the Fiji Public Trustee Corporation. Our aim is to see you flourish, and we will ensure a supportive policy framework and oversight. However, it is essential that the responsibility for driving growth and ensuring long-term sustainability lies with you,” he stated.
In closing, he encouraged FPTCL’s leadership to seek growth opportunities in the estate planning and administration sectors, indicating a strong belief in the organization’s potential to enhance its service offerings and reach. This proactive approach bodes well for Fijian families, ensuring they receive the necessary support in navigating their financial futures.
