[Alpha Biz= Reporter Kim Jisun] In December, 55 listed companies (13 KOSPI companies and 42 KOSDAQ companies), including Taeyoung Construction, are on the verge of delisting due to the rejection of external auditors' opinions.
According to the Korea Exchange on the 11th, as a result of closing the submission of the 2023 business report by the listed companies in December, 13 companies were delisted in the securities market. The number of KOSPI-listed companies increased by five from eight in the previous year.
Seven companies, including Taeyoung Engineering & Construction Co., Capro Co., E Investment & Development Co., Hanchang Co., Dayou Plus Co. and Well Biotech Co., received "no audit opinion" from outside auditors for the first time this time, causing a reason for delisting.
These listed companies can file objections within 15 days from the date of notification, and the exchange will decide whether to delist or grant an improvement period when filing an objection.
On the KOSDAQ market, 42 companies received unqualified audit opinions, causing reasons for the delisting. Eleven companies increased from the previous year (31 companies).
In addition, 35 companies were newly designated as investment cautionary items due to inadequate internal accounting management system and the occurrence of operating losses for five consecutive business years, and 26 companies were lifted from investment cautionary items.
