Building a better working world
“Corporate accounting departments in Japan suffer from a lack of manpower caused by a decreasing working population and the increasing importance of good labor management practices, all while the work itself is becoming more sophisticated and complicated.
In this context, to offer wide ranging support to accounting departments in Japan, I have developed a new service and delivery system using the latest EY digital tools and EY’s managed services to improve accounting efficiency and lower costs.
Additionally, to support my clients in cases of business restructuring or fraud, I have used my accounting and audit experiences to create appropriate financial reporting.
