Japan’s motor maker Nidec is unable to obtain an auditor’s opinion for its fiscal 2025 report by a stated October deadline, according to multiple reports. The company is described as being stuck in audit procedures linked to an ongoing accounting scandal, leaving it short of the timing needed to finalise its reporting.
Japan Times reports that Nidec cannot complete procedures requested by PwC Japan Group by the end of October. Nikkei Asia, as cited by both Channel NewsAsia reports, says Nidec is likely to miss the month-end deadline on the audit and its associated opinion. Across outlets, the common focus is the missed timing for an audit opinion rather than changes to business operations or new developments in the scandal.
While the core facts align—Nidec faces difficulty securing an unqualified or auditor’s opinion by year-end reporting deadlines—the outlets vary mainly in how they phrase the deadline and in which audit-related details they foreground.
