Higher Monetary Award Proposed for the Reporting of Accounting Irregularities

The Financial Services Commission proposed amendments to the Regulations on Procedure and Reward for Reporting Accounting Irregularities, establishing a higher monetary award for whistleblowers. This revision builds upon recent changes in the Enforcement Decree of the Act on External Audit of Stock Companies to incentivize more frequent and accurate financial disclosures. The updated regulatory framework increases payout thresholds for verified accounting violations, thereby strengthening corporate accountability and market transparency.
