Samjong KPMG, '9th IPO Success Strategy Seminar' on the 21st

Samjong KPMG announced on the 11th that it will hold the "9th IPO Success Strategy" seminar for preliminary IPO companies at POSCO Tower Yeoksam on the 21st.

Last year, both the number and amount of small and medium-sized IPOs under 50 billion KRW increased compared to the previous year, with a total of 82 companies successfully going public. As of last month, 5 companies were newly listed on the KOSPI and 46 companies on the KOSDAQ. With the election of U.S. President Trump and the emphasis on liquidity supply for economic growth, a positive environment is expected to be created in the IPO market if the Trump administration eases financial policies.

This seminar will share accounting and tax issues required before and after listing for companies preparing for IPOs, along with related cases. Successful IPO strategies, including preparation for qualitative screening requirements and internal control aspects, will also be presented.

The first session will be delivered by Won-sik Lee, Manager of the KOSDAQ Market Department at Korea Exchange, explaining the "Listing System and Policy Directions of the KOSDAQ and KONEX Markets." Hyun-seok Kim and Soo-seok Ryu, Managing Directors at Samjong KPMG, will introduce "Major Accounting Issues Arising During Designated Audits" and "Tax Issues to Consider Before and After Listing," respectively. Finally, Kyung-ho Noh, Director at NH Securities, will present on the topic "IPO Viewed Through Practical Cases."

Byung-hoon Byun, Head of the Audit Division at Samjong KPMG, stated, "Many companies pursue IPOs as a foothold for business expansion and sustainable growth. In the rapidly changing domestic and international market environment, proactive responses to systems and regulations, such as strengthened supervision of accounting treatments and interpretations to be faced in the future and raising the certification level of internal accounting control systems, are essential for a successful IPO." The seminar is free to attend and registration is available on the Samjong KPMG website.
