As a result, it was determined that contracts that should have been accounted for as finance leases were, in multiple fiscal years, incorrectly accounted for as operating leases, and a correction report has been filed.\n\n### Corrective Policies and Impact\nThe evaluation results for the internal control reports subject to correction have been amended as deficiencies, and the Company will implement a comprehensive revision of the accounting policy checklist and strengthen operational procedures based on information collection from business units. By reinforcing internal control over financial reporting, the Company aims to appropriately manage impacts on the financial statements. The effects have already been reflected in the consolidated financial statements and financial statements, and the auditor's report continues to be an unqualified opinion.","jir_financial_highlights":"Unqualified Audit Opinion: Unknown (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#KimuraUnity_NoDisclosureToAvoidSpeculation #InternalControl #FinancialReportCorrection","jir_key_figures":"Correction period: Fiscal Years 51 to 55 internal control reports\nAudit opinion: Unqualified Audit Opinion\nCorrective policy: Comprehensive revision of the accounting policy checklist and strengthening of operations","jir_meta_title":"Kimura Unity Co., Ltd. \u2014 Notice of Correction to Past Internal Controls\uff5cOctober 2026","jir_meta_description":"Announcement of correction to material weaknesses in past internal control reports and efforts to remediate internal control over financial reporting.
