External Audit &
Accounting Services

For foreign companies operating in Korea, meeting local audit and accounting requirements is essential. We help you stay compliant from day one.

Who Needs an External Audit in Korea?

Under the Act on External Audit of Stock Companies, companies meeting any of the following criteria are subject to mandatory external audit.

₩5B+

Total Assets

₩5B+

Annual Revenue

50+

Employees

₩7B+

Many foreign subsidiaries exceed these thresholds sooner than expected. Early engagement with a qualified audit firm ensures your financial statements are prepared correctly from the outset.

Our Audit & Accounting Services

We offer a full range of audit and accounting services designed to keep your Korean entity compliant, transparent, and investor-ready.

01

External Audit

Statutory external audits in full compliance with Korean Auditing Standards (KAS) and International Standards on Auditing (ISA). We work closely with your finance team to minimize disruption.

02

Internal Accounting Review

We help establish and review internal accounting management systems. A robust internal control framework reduces audit risk, prevents fraud, and ensures reliable financial reporting.

03

Financial Due Diligence

Whether acquiring a Korean company, entering a joint venture, or preparing for an investment round, our financial due diligence provides a clear picture of the target entity's true financial position.

04

Agreed-Upon Procedures

When you need an objective review of specific financial information — for a bank, regulator, or counterparty — our CPAs perform agreed-upon procedures and report factual findings.

05

Special Purpose Audit

Certain transactions require audits beyond the annual financial statement audit. We handle special purpose audits for liquidation, merger, capital increase/decrease, and regulatory filings.
