Hong Jong-sung, the Country Managing Partner at Deloitte Anjin LLC's Korea office, the local unit of New York-based Deloitte, is expected to maintain his top position at the firm, which he has had since March 2019.

Deloitte Anjin LLC is a member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, DTTL, the world's largest accounting and consulting firm.

As the three-year term was positively evaluated by the firm, Hong has recently been appointed as the sole candidate at the firm's CEO candidate recommendation committee. The serving of the consecutive term will be confirmed at around the Jan. 20 following the firm's vote. The vote will be approved, only when two thirds of the firm's partners agree to the vote result.

If Hong is appointed again, the managing director is expected to serve until March 2026, as the serving term for the top official seat has been extended from the current three years to four.

Hong has been heading the global leader accounting firm since March 2019.

Hong graduated from Korea University with a business degree and started his career in 1991 when he joined the accounting firm.

Since then, he had been accumulating expertise in merger and acquisitions (M&A) and accounting auditing over nearly two decades. He led the firm's financial advisory (FA) service division, before being appointed as the company's new country managing director in early 2019.
