Building a better working world

"There are too few accountants, and this is becoming an increasingly serious problem. And with more and more companies unable to receive IPO audits, it is becoming a problem for society in general.

To solve this problem, it will no doubt be important to promote next-generation audits using digital technologies. At the same time, we also need to make the job more appealing and increase the pool of talented accountants.

I have taught at an accounting graduate school since 2019, focusing specifically on conveying the appealing qualities of the job to as many students as possible."
