MUFG Addresses Financial Reporting Challenges Amid Internal Control Weakness

An announcement from Mitsubishi UFJ ( (MUFG) ) is now available.

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. has restated its financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, due to a material weakness identified in its internal control over financial reporting. The restatement was necessitated by an error related to the accounting of MUFG Union Bank’s reporting lag elimination following its sale. The company acknowledges that its internal controls were not effective as of March 31, 2024, and is implementing remediation measures, although these may not fully address the deficiencies. This situation may affect stakeholder confidence and could impact MUFG’s market position by reducing securities prices and limiting financial market access.
