The Financial Services Commission's Securities and Futures Commission (Securities Commission) decided on the 8th to refer Bonne to the prosecution for preparing and publicly announcing financial statements without adhering to accounting standards.
According to the Securities Commission, Bonne overstated its inventories by 630 million won in 2022 and 478 million won in 2023. Additionally, it deferred the recognition of compensation costs agreed upon with clients in 2022 to 2023. It also obstructed external audits by hindering inquiries from auditors and presenting false transaction evidence.
The Securities Commission decided to file a complaint with the prosecution against Bonne, its CEO, and responsible executives, along with recommending their dismissal, imposing a six-month suspension, a penalty surcharge of 215 million won, and designating auditors for three years.
On the same day, the Securities Commission took measures against Donghyun Accounting Corporation, which violated important auditing procedures, including additional contributions to a compensation fund.
