Building a better working world
I work with many of our audit clients and teams in accessing the accounting and disclosure of complex transactions in IFRS. Transparent accounting information that reflects their reality is important for the long term financial health of our clients and for capital markets.
I teach about IFRS inside EY Japan's member firms as well as at a number of Japanese universities, and work to promote a deeper understanding of IFRS, an international perspective, and the use of English as a communication tool.
