Hiroshi Yamada

Specially-appointed Professor, MBA
Accounting standards have been progressively adopting IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) or moving towards convergence to IFRS in many countries around the world, and recently there has been a move to expand the strategic disclosure of sustainability information. Through lectures based on my practical experience in accounting and finance at a major international company in Japan, and my involvement in the development of accounting standards at the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (ASBJ), you will learn practical knowledge of Financial Accounting and Business Analysis as the foundation of business.
