[Webinar held on August 8] Code of conduct as a listed company when an accounting error is discovered

2022/8/12

[Iwata Godo Law Office / FRONTEO Joint Online Seminar]

No matter how much internal control is strengthened, it is impossible to completely prevent accounting errors (inappropriate accounting) and it is necessary to be prepared on a daily basis to assume that accounting errors, large or small, will occur in a publicly traded company. However, accounting errors are discovered in a variety of ways, and the required response differs depending on the nature of the error and its assumed materiality. The required response varies depending on the nature of the error and its expected materiality, etc. Errors can lead to delays in the submission of disclosure documents such as financial statements or, in the worst case, delisting of the company. Therefore, in this seminar, I will explain the code of conduct expected of listed companies according to the pattern of inappropriate accounting.

[Program] (Partially subject to change)
XNUMX Disclosure system sanctions against inappropriate accounting
XNUMX Initial response for each pattern in which accounting errors become apparent 
XNUMX Conducting surveys with an awareness of risk scenarios
