\n The deputy chief of South Korea’s financial regulator on Monday sought the support of Andreas Barckow, chief of the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB), for the country’s efforts to secure a spot on the international board.<\/p>\n
Kim So-young, vice chairman of the Financial Services Commission (FSC), made the request in a meeting in Seoul. The IASB chief is on a visit to South Korea to take part in the International Forum of Accounting Standard Setters, set to be held Wednesday through Friday.<\/p>\n
“The two sides exchanged their views on the conditions surrounding the international financial reporting standards (IFRS), including the recent introduction of the IFRS 18, and Vice Chairman Kim So-young asked for the IASB chairman’s support for a South Korean member joining the IASB,” the FSC said in a press release.<\/p>\n
“Kim said the country is deeply interested in the selection of an Asian-Oceanian member of the IASB and asked for active support for a South Korean nominee to be selected, considering that South K
\norea is an exemplary country that fully implements the IFRS and its status in the global market,” it added.<\/p>\n
Barckow expressed gratitude for South Korea’s interest in the selection process and said he will work to select a member who has the highest expertise and understanding in accounting, according to the FSC.<\/p>\n
