Message
Accounting and finanical information is an indispensable communication tool in the business world. However, the recent progress in establishing internationally common accounting standards has caused a rapid expansion of the scope of application of such international standards to sustainability and other kinds of data. I hope that students will acquire the most advanced knowledge of and practical skills concerning the thus rapidly evolving global standards for accounting and management information so that they will demonstrate their talents in the global business world.
