32nd, ASBJ, No topics in this issue for Taxation, Caractères

October 22, 2010

1. Accounting (Source: “Keiei Zaimu Magazine”, opinion by the editor)

 On September 17, the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (ASBJ) published a project plan towards the convergence between IFRS and JGAAP. 
 The plan aims to eliminate differences between the two standards by 2011, but does not seem to contain any of its unique perspectives.

3. This Week’s Words of Wisdom (Source: “Caractères”)

“Man has but three events in his life: to be born, to live, and to die. He is not conscious of his birth, he suffers at his death and he forgets to live.”
 (Jean de La Bruyére, French Moralist)

 The French seem to have a long history of satire as can be seen from this quote and other writers such as Montaigne and La Rochefoucauld.

 Although it is difficult to comment specifically, the above quote is very moving indeed.

  • “The launch of Berry Bros. & Rudd Limited’s Japanese branch in November 2008 required the support of a knowledgeable, reliable and professional accounting firm and we were therefore fortunate to find all of these qualities working with the Nagamine & Mishima Accounting Office.

    Since assisting us with the initial set-up, N&M have managed our monthly and year-end Accounts as well as handling our Payroll, ensuring compliance with Tax regulations and filing annual Tax Returns and supervising year-end stock counts.  They respond to all queries in a very timely manner, their work is of a high consistency and their approach friendly.

    With N&M assistance we have confidence in the controls and integrity of the accounting information for our Japanese operations.”
