South Korea recently introduced new rules surrounding the accounting and disclosure practices of its crypto industry.

The rules would come into effect in 2024.According to a <a href="https://www.fsc.go.kr/no010101/80379?srchCtgry&#61;&amp;curPage&#61;&amp;srchKey&#61;&amp;srchText&#61;&amp;srchBeginDt&#61;&amp;srchEndDt&#61;" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">press release</a> by the Financial Services Commission (FSC), discussions for the new rules began after South Korea’s National Assembly passed the Virtual Assets Act last month. An amendment was made to the country’s Corporate Accounting Standards, which was followed by further review by the Korean Accounting Standards Board.The new rules would require cryptocurrency issuers in South Korea to include detailed disclosures about their crypto business in their financial statements. This would include information about internal accounting practices, crypto token sales as well as details of token holdings. The rules would also apply to corporate entities that hold cryptocurrencies.South Korean firms that hold and invest in crypto tokens would have to disclose details surrounding token classification, proceeds from token sales, and other information regarding token holdings including their book value and market value. The new rules also cleared up the confusion about whether to treat sales of issued crypto tokens as profit.
