[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants announced on the 21st that it conducted the AT qualification exam as the first nationally certified private qualification exam to be held in a non-face-to-face format.
On the 19th, over 11,000 candidates took the AT qualification exam, with about 2,000 taking the exam in a non-face-to-face format. The Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants prepared for more than a year to ensure the stable implementation of the non-face-to-face exam amid the COVID-19 situation, and at the end of last year, it received government approval to convert the exam to a non-face-to-face format, becoming the first among 96 nationally certified private qualification exams. In the initial phase, both face-to-face and non-face-to-face exam formats will be conducted in parallel, and from August this year, the exam will be fully converted to a non-face-to-face format.
AT (Accounting & Tax Practitioner) is a financial supervisory service certified accounting and tax practical qualification exam established in 2013, with approximately 90,000 candidates taking the exam annually.

We consider it meaningful that AT has paved the way for the non-face-to-face transition of domestic qualification exams and will contribute to the advancement of national education."
