Professor Shunichi Toyoda

• Research Themes
  • Disclosure system as capital market infrastructure and the accounting standards that support it
• Research content
  • Efforts to reform accounting standards to provide financial information that is useful for investment decision making so that capital markets can function fully are accelerating internationally. Despite this, empirical evidence has been mounting that the usefulness of accounting information for this purpose has, on the contrary, been substantially reduced in its approximation. The purpose of this term is to approach the essence of the problem by going back to the "starting point" and carefully reexamining one by one the essence of "accounting" for commercial enterprises, the essence of "commercial corporate activities" that are the subject of such activities, and the essence of "investment decision making" that is the purpose of using accounting information.
