EY Hanyoung, a global accounting and consulting company, announced on the 30th that it has conducted regular personnel appointments for 60 partner-level employees in 2026. The appointment will take effect on July 1.
EY Hanyoung has newly appointed 32 partners and three executive directors (EDs). Eight of the existing partners were promoted to vice-representatives and 17 to executive directors, respectively.
