Japanese companies are scrambling to improve English-language disclosures ahead of a requirement for many of them to publish financials more accessible to international investors.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Japan is teaming up with Takara Printing, a Tokyo company that offers investor relations (IR) disclosure support, to roll out services to help listed companies release English-language information from this month.

¡°Our primary goal is to improve the international credibility of companies by facilitating engagement with various stakeholders. Through our services, we hope to contribute to the growth of Japan¡¯s capital market,¡± said Ryutaro Otsuji, a partner at PwC Japan.
