Nidec delays annual report filing to September amid accounting probe and quality issues

Nidec Corporation is considering applying for an extension to file its annual securities report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, pushing the deadline from June 30 to September 30, 2026. The Japanese manufacturer cited multiple ongoing investigations requiring additional time. A third-party committee identified widespread improper accounting practices across Nidec's operations, with involvement from management. Separately, an investigation into potential quality issues—including unauthorised changes to materials and improper testing data—is expected to conclude by end-August 2026. The company is also investigating customs duty issues following a voluntary declaration by subsidiary FIR regarding unpaid US customs duties. Nidec must assess the financial impact of all investigations before completing its audit procedures. The company has released preliminary figures but cautioned these exclude impacts from the ongoing investigations.

Nidec, facing accounting misconduct allegations, excludes President Kishida from nomination committee for director candidates to ensure fairness. 2026/3/27 11:00.

Nidec, facing accounting misconduct allegations, excludes President Kishida from nomination committee for director candidates to ensure fairness. 2026/3/27 11:00. Motor giant Nidec announced on the 27th that it removed President and CEO Mitsuya Kishida from the nomination committee for selecting director candidates as of the 26th. This appears to be part of measures in response to an accounting misconduct issue. Ahead of the regular shareholders' meeting, the company restructured the nomination committee to consist solely of four outside directors, aiming to ensure fairness and objectivity in candidate nominations. The policy for appointing directors and criteria for appointment/dismissal will also be revised effective April 1, emphasizing high ethical standards, compliance awareness, neutral judgment, along with expertise in corporate management and accounting. An investigation report by a third-party committee on the accounting misconduct, disclosed on the 3rd, highlighted dysfunction within the board of directors. The report pointed out issues such as the prolonged lack of sharing with the board about a project addressing the 'negative legacy' arising from the accounting misconduct. It also noted that concerns about strong performance pressure from headquarters executives as a root cause were not sufficiently communicated to outside directors, making the rebuilding of oversight functions a challenge.
