TOKYO, May 15 (Pulse News Wire) – Tokai Rika CO.,LTD. (6995.T) reported significant internal control deficiencies affecting its financial statements from fiscal years ending March 31, 2021 through March 31, 2025.
The issues stem from errors in tax effect accounting related to retirement benefit trusts, leading to overstated deferred tax assets. The company identified shortcomings in its internal controls due to inadequate procedures outlined in its guidance documents and checklists, particularly concerning the scheduling and offsetting of temporary differences. As a result, the firm submitted corrected reports for its annual securities reports, quarterly reports, and interim reports covering those periods.
To address these deficiencies, TOKAI RIKA plans to revise its guidance documents and checklists to reflect the complexity and specificity of targeted accounting treatments. Additionally, the company will enhance specialized training focused on tax effect accounting and conduct thorough reviews during the settlement process. Regular consultations with auditors will also be increased to ensure timely and accurate handling of important accounting issues.
