Building a better working world
I have gained a wide range of experience, especially from auditing financial institutions and working overseas. When I was seconded to the Accounting Standards Board of Japan, I cooperated with members from diverse backgrounds, including from other accounting firms and operating companies. I also coordinated with committee members, industry groups, and supervisory authorities to develop accounting standards. I am using these experiences to supervise audits while keeping a cool head but a warm heart. I am also a member of the Accounting Principles, where I contribute to quality improvements in auditing.
