Building a better working world
“When companies execute M&A, it is now standard practice to distribute the acquisition cost based on an accounting standard for business combination (PPA). However, when the standard was initially implemented, it was an uncommon practice and many M&A and accounting officers consulted me on this subject.
As I have long been involved in standards implementation, I have given a large number of seminars organized by accounting standard setting organizations, media entities and universities, as well as leading study sessions for companies. By improving the standards for value evaluation in financial reporting by Japanese companies, I hope to build a better working world."
