This program was a social contribution initiative aimed at improving financial accessibility for visually impaired individuals. It was held four times in total, beginning on April 20—Disability Day—and continuing through May 18.

In the final session, Manager Gim explained how to understand a company by examining how it generates revenue, the industry sector it belongs to, and whether its sales and operating profit are growing. He particularly emphasized that, when evaluating a company’s performance, it is important to consider not only whether the figures have increased but also how they differ from market expectations.

He also provided an introductory education on financial statements. Manager Gim explained the concepts of the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement in simple terms, guiding participants on how to assess a company’s status.

One participant in the fourth session said, "I heard that this financial education program was beneficial, so I inquired about attending the last session in person and was able to participate. The explanations on how to interpret investment information and how to review a company’s financial statements were easy to understand and very helpful."

A Toss Securities representative stated, "Financial accessibility is not only about conveniently using services, but also about having opportunities to understand financial information and make independent decisions. We will continue our financial education initiatives to help a more diverse range of users, including those with visual impairments, better understand investment information."
