INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW FY07


REPORT ON INTERNAL ACCOUNTING ANNUAL REPORT
CONTROL SYSTEM (“IACS”) LEAPING FORWARD FROM
English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean
GOOD TO GREAT
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of LIG Insurance Co., Ltd.:

We have reviewed the accompanying Report on the Management’s Assessment of IACS (the “Management’s Report”)
of LIG Insurance Co., Ltd (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2008. The Management’s Report, and the design and
operation of IACS are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to review the
Management’s Report and issue a review report based on our procedures. The Company’s management stated in the
accompanying Management’s Report that “based on the assessment of the IACS as of March 31, 2008, the Company’s
IACS has been appropriately designed and is operating effectively as of March 31, 2008, in all material respects, in
accordance with the IACS Framework established by the Korea Listed Companies Association.”

We conducted our review in accordance with the IACS Review Standards established by the Korean Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform a review, objective of which is to
obtain a lower level of assurance than an audit, of the Management’s Report in all material respects. A review includes
obtaining an understanding of the Company’s IACS and making inquiries regarding the Management’s Report and,
when deemed necessary, performing a limited inspection of underlying documents and other limited procedures.

The Company’s IACS represents internal accounting policies and a system to manage and operate such policies to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial statements prepared, in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea, for the purpose of preparing and disclosing reliable accounting
information. Because of its inherent limitations, IACS may not prevent or detect a material misstatement of the
financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of IACS to future periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Management’s Report
referred to above is not fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS Framework established by
the Korea Listed Companies Association.

Our review is based on the Company’s IACS as of March 31, 2008, and we did not review its IACS subsequent to
March 31, 2008. This report has been prepared pursuant to the Acts on External Audit for Stock Companies in the
Republic of Korea and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.
