In each of the accounting and taxation fields, ▲ one Best Paper will receive a plaque and a prize of 5 million KRW, and ▲ two Excellent Papers will receive plaques and prizes of 3 million KRW each.

He added, "In the future, we plan to expand the scope beyond accounting and taxation to include finance and legal fields, contributing to the promotion of industrial academia."
The Seohyun Academic Foundation was launched last year as the first academic foundation organized through voluntary contributions from employees of an accounting firm. The foundation supports academic advancement and research and development activities in the fields of accounting, taxation, and finance, while fulfilling social responsibilities.
