Due to inexperience in accounting processing, I came to be charged with occupational embezzlement after an accounting audit.

If, as in your case, you are being unfairly charged with the crime of occupational embezzlement, please request the assistance of the accounting supervision group within our firm.

The crime of occupational embezzlement is provided for in the Criminal Act, and when the crime of occupational embezzlement is established, the offender may be subject to a fine of not more than 30 million won or imprisonment for up to 10 years.

In addition, where the embezzled amount is 500 million won or more, the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes applies, and imprisonment for at least 3 years may be sentenced.

If the charge is defrauding a government subsidy, it is provided for in the Subsidy Management Act, and where a subsidy is used for another purpose, imprisonment for not more than 10 years or a fine of not more than 100 million won is imposed.

If you are subjected to a complaint for the crime of occupational embezzlement, it is important to prove that there was no intent and that it was a simple omission, or that you were inexperienced in accounting and the like.

An attorney experienced in criminal cases and an accountant-attorney collaborate to assist clients. In addition, before the accounting supervision is conducted, our firm independently operates a comparable supervision system and provides prior legal advice in line with the accounting standards of the Financial Supervisory Service, thereby assisting in prevention in advance.

If, while undergoing accounting supervision, you are charged as in your case, please request the assistance of an accountant-attorney.
