Sincerity and honesty. I constantly question whether I am taking life seriously and head-on, believing that it is important to study hard and improve myself.

Kojiro Ishikawa

Partner, Financial Accounting Advisory Services, Financial Services Office, Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC

Oversees advisory services for financial institutions. Father of two. Makes time to be with his children during the weekend. Makes a great beef stew.

Areas of focus

Kojiro Ishikawa works in the Financial Services Office as both a Partner on the Financial Accounting Advisory Services team and a Finance FoP Leader on the Mega Bank Account team.

He is also involved in developing standards for financial instrument accounting as a member of the Technical Committee of the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Building a better working world

I provide a range of advisory services to support financial institutions operating in today’s challenging domestic business environment, facing prolonged low inflation, low interest rates, and the rise of FinTech.

I am working to build a better working world by supporting financial institutions. Specifically, I am supporting the introduction of IFRS to accelerate overseas expansion, realize efficiency and stability by improving the settlement process, and realize long-term value by improving internal controls and governance.
