The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) is set to hold corporate disclosure workshops in major cities across the country to enhance the understanding of corporate disclosure among company representatives and ensure that important information is accurately provided to the market.
On June 9, the FSS announced that it will conduct the "2026 Corporate Disclosure Workshop" in collaboration with the Korea Listed Companies Association and the KOSDAQ Association, targeting corporations required to submit business reports.
The workshops will kick off on June 23 in Gwangju and June 24 in Daejeon, followed by sessions in Busan, Daegu, Seoul, and Pangyo, covering a total of six cities. The Gwangju workshop will take place in the main conference room of Gwangju Bank, while the Daejeon session will be held in the first meeting room of the Daejeon Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Participants will include listed companies, corporations with fundraising or sales performance, and those subject to external audits with over 500 shareholders, all of which are obligated to submit business reports under capital market laws. This year's workshops are particularly significant as they are the first to address changes in corporate law aimed at protecting the rights of general shareholders and enhancing shareholder value.
The FSS plans to introduce key regulatory changes under the amended corporate law, including disclosures related to treasury shares and executive compensation, as well as provide examples of requests for corrections to securities registration statements and practical guidance on disclosure practices. Additionally, the workshops will cover regulations on short-selling profit return systems, large shareholder reporting, and the reporting of ownership status by executives and major shareholders, as well as measures against unfair trading practices and notable case studies.
The sessions will be divided into areas focusing on distribution disclosure, electronic disclosure, disclosure precautions, ownership disclosure, and regulations on unfair trading. Practical training will also include guidance on preparing and submitting electronic documents and recent examples of disclosure correction requests.
The FSS stated that not only listed companies but also representatives from unlisted companies are welcome to attend, and for those unable to participate in person, relevant materials will be posted on the FSS website after the workshops conclude.
