Resoultion and Results

(Resolution) Successfully cooperated with relevant government bodies and suggested regulatory improvements to the Regulatory Reform Committee to waive disclosure requirements for LLCs.

 

(Result) Suggestions regarding external audit of LLCs, such as the need to consider the number of their employees, sales and stakeholders before deciding on the subject of external audit and the scope of the accountant’s report, have been successfully applied to the Amendment of the Act on External Audit of Stock Companies.
