- Abstract
- Korea underwent unprecedented changes in accounting sector after 1997 foreign currency
crisis. Following the request of IMF and Worldbank, the primary providers of foreign loan,
we accepted the international accounting standards, established private standard setting body
and introduced combined financial statement, quarterly financial reporting, audit committee
and internal accounting control system. After Enron crisis, Korea adopted the core provisions
of Sarbanes-Oxeley Act including CEO certification to annual report, auditor rotation, and
limit on non-audit business. This paper summarizes the process of these revolutionary
changes in accounting and examines their implication. We suggests long term directions for
sound development of Korea accounting industry. First, it is necessary to be cautious not to
adopt unverified foreign system without careful consideration. Secondly, political sector and
government body try to lead the way to accounting transparency. Thirdly, regulation body
need to overcome penalty based approach and must maintain fairness in punishment.
Fourthly, we prepare infrastructure for facilitating market system rather than introduce
temporary regulations.
