At the conference, the 2012 fiscal year financial statement results and the status of each Service's financial statement credibility improvement progress were presented. In addition, measures to implement the 'Top Ten Financial Accounting Improvement Tasks' disseminated by the MND were also discussed in detail.

In particular, the participants established a consensus on synchronizing the actual asset within the 2013 fiscal year and the asset between the resource management system and financial system, and carried out vigorous discussions on this issue.

Vice Minister Baek requested the participants to "set the goal of preparing a credible financial statement as a top priority considering that the MND's asset is very important, consisting around 10% of the entire nation's assets."
