Kim Kyo-tae, Chairman of Samjong KPMG, said, “Previously, the Head of the Quality Management Office also led the Audit Quality Management Office, but to enhance audit quality management, we separately appointed a Head of the Audit Quality Management Office and strengthened the personnel of the office. Samjong KPMG is focusing on improving audit quality as a core value of the corporation in line with changes in the domestic and international audit environment.”

Meanwhile, last year, Samjong KPMG became the first in the industry to establish the ‘Audit Quality Committee,’ which performs comprehensive roles such as improving, managing, and supervising audit quality. The ‘Quality Management Coaching Team,’ which supports audit teams through continuous coaching, was also launched. In addition, the ‘Audit Education Committee’ was formed to strengthen audit education, which is the foundation of audit quality, demonstrating multifaceted efforts to enhance audit quality.
