The Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants will hold an event to discuss preparations for and responses to sustainability disclosure assurance.

On October 29, the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants announced that it will hold the 27th Sustainability Assurance Forum online on November 5.

The forum will focus on “Preparing for Assurance of Sustainability Disclosures and Pre-Assurance.” Han Daegeun, a partner at Samjong KPMG, will present on key tasks and practical considerations for companies preparing for assurance, and offer ways to make effective use of pre-assurance.

Paik Taeyoung, an emeritus professor at Sungkyunkwan University, adjunct professor at KAIST, and advisory committee member for the KSSB and Samjong KPMG, will moderate the panel discussion. The panelists are Kim Kyungbae, chief specialist at the Korean Standards Association; Shim Jeongeun, executive vice president at HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering; Oh Seungjae, CEO of Sustinvest; Oh Changtaek, partner at EY Han Young; Yoon Jaewon, professor at Hongik University and the Korea Investment Forum; and Lee Woonghee, standing committee member at the Korea Accounting Standards Board.

Participants can register for the forum in advance through the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants website.

Choi Woonyeol, chairman of the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants, said, “Pre-assurance of sustainability disclosures will be a useful tool for reviewing current disclosure systems and addressing their shortcomings before a full-scale assurance framework is introduced.”
