<p>The South Korean Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) <a href="https://www.fss.or.kr/fss/bbs/B0000188/view.do?nttId&#61;129342&amp;menuNo&#61;200218" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">has revealed</a> a set of exemplary financial statements aimed at clarifying the disclosure requirements of virtual asset-related entities. These guidelines have been designed to align with the Korean version of International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS), which was established by the Korea Accounting Institute (KAI).</p><p>It <a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/korean-financial-regulator-reveals-crypto-accounting-guidelines-to-prevent-inflated-company-351e6cd4f6b" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">was reported</a> earlier this month that the Financial Services Commission (FSC) brought forward these regulations to tackle accounting uncertainties within the blockchain industry.</p><p>The main goal of these exemplary guidelines is to help entities provide financial statement readers with essential information regarding virtual assets. This includes details about the reserve amount held by virtual asset issuers and information about the virtual assets held by virtual asset service providers (VASPs).</p><h2 id="header-0">Presentation sessions</h2><p>To ensure effective dissemination and understanding of these guidelines, the FSS, KAI, and the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants (KICPA) have planned presentation sessions. These sessions will take place from July 26 to August 11, which will involve visits to VASPs, listed companies, and accounting firms. Valuable feedback and suggestions from these stakeholders are anticipated, as the events encourage open two-way communication and welcome participation from anyone interested.</p><h2 id="header-1">Discussion meetings</h2><p>To further refine the ideas put forward during the presentation sessions, two separate discussion meetings with experts are scheduled for September and October. The recommendations gathered from the industry will undergo a careful review by experts and be thoughtfully incorporated into the guidelines.</p><p>The FSS will finalize the guidelines in cooperation with the FSC, and the Securities and Futures Commission under the FSC will review them and give approval for their implementation. This is expected to take place between October and November.</p><p>The FSC has stated that these exemplary guidelines are currently in their preliminary stage and open to potential changes during the public comment period. Additionally, companies have the flexibility to make necessary adjustments to these practice guidelines to suit their specific needs and requirements.</p><h2 id="header-2">Issuers, holders, exchanges</h2><p>The exemplary practice guidelines are specifically targeted at three types of entities: virtual asset issuers, virtual asset holders, and virtual asset trading exchanges.</p><p>For virtual asset issuers, providing essential information about their virtual assets is a key requirement. This information should encompass their business models, accounting policies, obligations (e.g. whitepapers), and the current status of their projects. Such details should be disclosed in the annotations of their financial statements. Furthermore, revenue generated from the sales of virtual assets must be recognized, and any changes to their obligations should be duly noted. Moreover, disclosure of the reserved amount of issued virtual assets and their intended usage plan is mandatory.</p><p>Companies holding virtual assets must provide information regarding accounting policies, the total value of assets held, the reasons behind their holdings, and any gains or losses incurred. Additionally, holders are obligated to disclose risks associated with virtual assets and their potential impact.</p><p>Virtual asset trading platforms, such as exchanges, are mandated to disclose not only their own virtual asset holdings but also those held on behalf of their customers. This disclosure should encompass detailed information about their accounting policies, the total value of assets under their custody, associated risks, and the involvement of third-party custodians. In particular, the platforms must indicate whether they treat customer assets under their custody as assets or liabilities and provide a clear rationale for such classification in the annotations of their financial statements.</p>
