As a US CPA i worked in Tokyo 1983-1997 and the most important memories of those years were, the extreme obstacles to certification of Japanese Konin Kaikeishi as well as lawyers, and the unfairness of allocation of those certifications to the upper class. Specifically the students at To-Dai were taught a lot of stuff that included almost anecdotal, historical facts which were then, magically appeared on the "exam" a few months later that could not possibly be known by the other applicants. There's more.
I taught at the NTA tax college, I think it was in Ichigaya? while working at E&Y. Anyway Here's 30 guys sitting there completely impassive, giving me the stink-eye. Total silence, no response to questions. LOL You had to be there. All they were interested in is the methods of foreign agencies evading japanese taxes. All they got was the international financial reporting standards, the IAS, the international version of GAAP. I was in my early 30s so cut me some slack.
Hello Todd,
Thank you for sharing your memories. I hope Japanese society keeps progressing.
