KARIYA, Japan ― DENSO Corp. has announced plans to voluntarily adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The first document to use IFRS, in place of Japanese accounting standards, will be the consolidated financial statements in DENSO’s Annual Securities report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.

DENSO said it chose to adopt the IFRS as a global standard to accelerate speedy management by unification of accounting standards in group companies, and to enable stakeholders to more conveniently compare the financial information of DENSO and other companies in capital markets.

Japanese accounting standards will continue to be applied to the summary of consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, as well as the consolidated financial statements constructed in accordance with the Companies Act of Japan for the same period.
