> Toshiba Corp. said Friday that a subsidiary booked fictitious sales of ¥43.5 billion in 26 transactions recorded only on paper. The scandal may again throw Toshiba into a crisis similar to its massive accounting fraud in 2015... In the troubled conglomerate’s 2015 accounting fraud, Toshiba padded profits by more than ¥200 billion.

I’m not an expert either, but I can able to notice where a conversation holds up “Japanese corporate governance” as some noteworthy model :)
