How Kan is building a better working world
Companies using IFRS want to enhance long-term financial health to receive appropriate evaluations from capital markets in Japan and overseas. To realize this, it is essential for them to implement appropriate accounting that shows their actual status and release financial statements that provide useful information to investors.
I support my clients to achieve this purpose by providing timely and appropriate advice based on my abundant knowledge and experience in IFRS and my expert industry.
