Optro, an AI-powered governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform formerly known as AuditBoard, has announced its expansion into Singapore. This new location serves as the company's newest regional center, marking a major step forward in supporting global GRC teams and providing localized services for its rapidly growing customer base in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. The platform, which is currently trusted by more than half of the Fortune 500, aims to empower enterprises to transform risk into opportunity.[1][2]

With this expansion, Optro is introducing the APAC region's first fully automated controls testing. The official announcement of the Singapore hub was made on June 22, 2026, at The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) International Conference 2026, which was held in Singapore.[1][2]

The decision to establish a physical presence in Singapore comes at a critical time for businesses in the area. Organizations across the Asia Pacific region are currently navigating increasingly complex risk environments, which are being heavily shaped by the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence. Optro's localized presence is designed to help these enterprises manage these evolving challenges effectively.[1][2]

Voters head to polls in US midterm primaries

Self-described ‘Maga warrior’ will face Jon Ossoff in November; polls close is Alabama, Oklahoma and Washington DC With 55% of the vote counted in Georgia, NBC News projects Mike Collins will defeat former football coach Derek Dooley to win the Republican primary for the US Senate. Collins currently leads by 10 points, 55% to 45%. The Associated Press has not yet made a call, but NBC’s analysis is based on the fact that Collins is doing better than Dooley in the votes cast on election day, which tend to favor candidates, like Collins, endorsed by Donald Trump , who hates mail-in ballots almost as much as he hates windmills. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/jun/16/midterm-primaries-election-updates-ge
