Investigation findings and legal action
Nine former officers were found liable: six former directors, two former audit or Audit and Supervisory Committee members, and one former vice president and CFO; damages are apportioned by contribution.
Damages for Aug 2025–Aug 2026 were ¥27.633bn, covering investigation and audit costs and listing-agreement penalties; the amount may increase.
On Oct 27, the Board and Audit and Supervisory Committee resolved to seek damages from officers whose liability was acknowledged.
Legal action over distributable-amount rule violations will follow correction of past fiscal-year financial statements.
Findings cited neglected accounting and audit systems, profit-target-driven accounting treatments, and efforts to secure auditor acceptance of departures from standards.
Internal controls and audit
A Written Confirmation of Internal Management System was scheduled for submission to TSE on Oct 30, following reforms implemented since designation as a security on special alert.
Reforms cover compliance culture, board and group governance, planning and budget controls, internal audit, accounting processes, quality and customs controls.
Re-verification of financial-reporting processes involving 20 people and digital forensics for eight current officers were reported to auditors on Oct 27; eligibility reviews for 77 candidate signatories were completed.
Screening and other procedures for 252 candidate signatories remained incomplete as of Oct 28.
The FY ended Mar 31, 2026 Annual Securities Report retained a disclaimer; an amended report could not be submitted with an audit opinion, and audit completion timing was undetermined.
Audit response
PwC requires sufficient audit evidence; FY2025 impairment and investment-valuation support was reported, while prior-year discussions and additional requested work continued, with completion targeted by end-November.
Corrective FY2025 audit and FY2026 audit contracts had been concluded.
