- Authors
Satish, D.
- Abstract
On July 21, 2015, the top management executives of Japanese major, Toshiba Corporation, resigned over allegations of encouraging irregular accounting practices across various divisions of the company. Despite putting in place high corporate governance standards, it was found that various divisions resorted to window dressing due to various compulsions. The case study goes beyond the accounting scandal at Toshiba, highlighting different ways in which the accounts were manipulated. Also it looks into whistleblower policy and corporate governance systems at Toshiba in particular and Japanese corporations in general.
