In the next session, Mincheol Jeong, University Consulting Leader (Partner), will examine how changes in the institutional environment impact universities during the operation of the Regional Innovation-led University Support System (RISE) projects, and will present mid- to long-term response strategies that universities should consider going forward. Mihyang Jeong, Nonprofit Tax Specialist Team Leader, will explain tax risks and compliance management issues that university finance staff should be mindful of.

Gyuseop Yoon, Public and Nonprofit Platform Leader (Deputy CEO) at Samil PwC, stated, "Since the introduction of RISE, the university financial management environment has rapidly grown more complex, and the burden on universities to manage a variety of fiscal projects with limited personnel is increasing. We hope this seminar will provide university finance professionals with an opportunity to explore the potential of AI-powered management methods and establish practical response strategies that can be immediately applied in their work."
