benefits applicable to SMEs in a 100% Group will be determined based on

not be eligible for these benefits if the paid-in-capital of the parent
company exceeds JPY 500 million.

The Financial Services Agency (FSA) is already planning to revise the
new CPA examination system that started in 2006. This is because a rapid

passers who cannot get jobs. The FSA has long been criticized for
controlling the number of passers at its own discretion. We must say
that this criticism was right on the mark.
