[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jihwan] Samil Accounting Corporation celebrated its 50th anniversary on the 1st.

Founded in 1971, Samil Accounting Corporation is the first domestic accounting firm to sustain 50 years as a single brand and single organization without any mergers, maintaining its unshakable number one position.

CEO Yoon Hoonsoo said at the anniversary ceremony held via non-face-to-face YouTube broadcast, "Based on the good traditions of partner-centered good governance, talent-centeredness, and quality first, let us add a horizontal organizational culture founded on diversity and inclusion, autonomy, and creativity to build a company that lasts 100 years."

CEO Yoon emphasized, "Samil is renowned as a talent academy in the accounting industry, and going forward, we will make Samil a happy place for employees through more definite rewards and work-life balance (WLB)."

He added, "Samil will participate in solving national and social challenges based on the highest expertise in auditing, tax, finance, and consulting fields, and we will further strengthen the social trust that 'if you entrust it to Samil, it is certain,' whether it is auditing or due diligence."

Founder and Honorary Chairman Seo Taesik, who led Samil’s good governance by handing over his shares to the company and retiring at the age of 65 in 2003, urged, "Let us carry on the unique DNA of Samil that aims for the best."
