The examination was designed to measure the accuracy of knowledge on typical finance, accounting and tax related tasks in the form of a statistically equated, scaled score. It is increasingly recognized as one of the most reliable tools to assess financial capability of employees and outsourced staff including those in shared services.
The evolving “FASS 2.0” incorporates risks and controls inherent in the finance and accounting process. Publicly traded Japanese companies are under strong pressure to establish an effective internal control system mandated by the new Company Law and Financial Instruments and Exchange Law.
