The major fraud types included failure to record valuation losses on inventories, evasion of fixed asset impairment, capitalization of expenses, and overstatement of accounts receivable. As a result, net assets at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were preliminarily estimated to have decreased by approximately 139.7 billion yen.\n\n### Cause Analysis and Recurrence Prevention Measures\nThe investigation identified the primary cause of the accounting fraud as strong performance pressure from top management centered on Mr. Nagamori. Mr. Nagamori continuously demanded achievement of excessively high performance targets, exerting intense pressure on executives and subsidiaries. The accounting and internal audit departments failed to function as adequate checks, and the legal compliance department avoided raising issues. Outside directors were not adequately informed of the core problems, and the audit and supervisory committee did not function effectively. Nidek is formulating an improvement plan that includes revising the target-setting process, ensuring independence of the accounting function, strengthening the internal audit system, and enhancing the role of outside directors.","jir_financial_highlights":"Impact on consolidated financial statements (net assets): Approximate decrease of 139.7 billion yen (Unknown)\nCumulative impact on past years\u2019 profits and losses: Revenue -33.1 billion yen, Operating Income -166.4 billion yen, Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent -160.7 billion yen (Unknown)\nNumber of internal whistleblowing cases (Fiscal Year 2025): 67 cases (including hotline) (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Nidek, #AccountingFraud, #ThirdPartyCommittee, #InternalControl, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Cumulative impact on past years\u2019 profits and losses: Revenue -33.1 billion yen, Operating Income -166.4 billion yen, Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent -160.7 billion yen\nImpact on consolidated financial statements net assets at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025: Approximate decrease of 139.7 billion yen\nNumber of internal whistleblowing cases in fiscal 2025 (including hotline): 67 cases","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Nidek\u3011Receipt of Third-Party Committee Investigation Report and Formulation of Recurrence Prevention Measures\uff5cApril 2026","jir_meta_description":"Nidek Co., Ltd. has received the final report from the third-party committee revealing that past accounting fraud impacted consolidated financial statements by approximately 139.7 billion yen.
