Listing Maintenance Advisory Center

Due to increased external uncertainties, rising volatility across industries, and intensifying competition, the business environment for listed companies is becoming more challenging, with stronger downward pressure on both operating performance and financial structure. Additionally, accounting errors are increasing due to the complex and varied interpretations of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Alongside this, investigations into suspicious transactions and stricter delisting criteria have made it difficult for many companies to maintain their listed status.

When delisting risks arise, they can significantly impact not only the company but also numerous investors, as stock trading may be suspended. It is essential for companies to respond swiftly by obtaining qualified opinions from external auditors, enhancing business performance and financial structure, and addressing any concerns related to potential misconduct.

Samjong KPMG Listing Maintenance Advisory Center is comprised of approximately 30 specialists, including accounting and internal control experts who support external audits and the formation of audit opinions; a dedicated forensic investigation team; M&A professionals specializing in corporate recovery and business normalization; a restructuring team with experience in executing business and governance reforms as well as post-implementation management; and tax specialists who identify and assess tax risks.

Building on our extensive expertise, we provide management improvement plans addressing specific delisting risks and challenges, and assist companies in maintaining their listing by providing guidance on effective plan implementation and throughout every phase of the substantive listing eligibility review.
