Japan submitted a comment letter dated 2026-10-28 on EFRAG's ESRS-40a Exposure Draft, supporting interoperability with ISSB-aligned jurisdictional standards while seeking clearer treatment of disclosures not covered by ISSB Standards and an additional reporting option focused on EU-related impacts. The publication does not itself create binding requirements, but it signals that implementation design, reporting perimeter and top-up disclosures remain contested before ESRS-40a is finalised for in-scope non-EU groups.
The Government of Japan proposed that EFRAG clarify which ESRS-40a disclosure requirements would remain as top-ups where a non-EU group incorporates by reference a group sustainability report prepared under jurisdictionally mandated standards functionally aligned with ISSB Standards. Japan also proposed adding an alternative to the Exposure Draft's mixed approach that would reduce the reporting burden on non-EU companies while requiring reporting of all EU-related impacts. The Exposure Draft itself is a consultation proposal rather than a final binding standard.
The immediate impact is preparatory rather than mandatory because the JFSA publication communicates Japan's negotiating position on an EFRAG exposure draft. If adopted broadly as proposed, Article 40a would create material sustainability-reporting, data-aggregation, governance, publication and potentially assurance obligations for qualifying non-EU groups through their EU subsidiaries or branches; the main unresolved compliance issues are the scope of ISSB top-ups and whether reporting can be limited to EU-related impacts.

Japan’s Financial Services Agency published the Business Accounting Council Audit Standard Committee’s exposure draft revising Japanese auditing standards, focused on going-concern audits and consistency of fraud-audit requirements with International Standards on Auditing. The draft is not yet binding, but market commentary indicates that it may lead to expanded auditor evaluation of management’s going-concern assessment, enhanced audit-report explanations, and implementation for audits of fiscal years ending in March 2028 if finalized.
The consultation proposes revisions requiring auditors to take more appropriate and consistent actions regarding the going-concern assumption and to enhance explanations and information provided about going-concern matters, while maintaining consistency with international auditing standards. It also initiates a review of the alignment between International Standards on Auditing, Japanese Auditing Standards, and Japan’s Standard to Address Fraud Risks, including whether the standards adequately address lessons from recent fraud cases.
No immediate new legal obligation applies because the publication is an exposure draft. If finalized, the revisions could materially increase the evidence, challenge, documentation, communications, and reporting expected from auditors and could require audited entities to strengthen going-concern forecasting, fraud-risk governance, and disclosure controls; independent commentary points to possible application for audits of fiscal years ending in March 2028.

On August 27, 2026, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (JFSA) revised its Q&A on Financial Instruments Business by adding Question 7. It states that distribution by Financial Instruments Business Operators of overseas single-stock leveraged ETFs referencing shares of Japanese companies is not considered to be in the public interest, signaling that firms should not rely on the fact that a product is listed overseas or previously reportable as sufficient justification for distribution in Japan.
The JFSA added Question 7 to its Q&A on Financial Instruments Business. The revised guidance expresses the JFSA’s view that distributing overseas single-stock leveraged ETFs whose underlying assets are shares of Japanese companies is not in the public interest because the products may amplify fluctuations in the prices of the underlying shares listed on Japanese exchanges and may significantly affect price formation in Japan’s financial markets.
The publication is guidance rather than an expressly stated statutory ban, but it creates a significant supervisory and conduct risk for Japanese Financial Instruments Business Operators that continue distributing affected products. The JFSA links the activity to potential amplification of Japanese equity-price fluctuations and significant effects on domestic market price formation; market commentary suggests the signal is aimed at closing or discouraging reliance on overseas listing status and prior notification procedures.

Japan’s Financial Services Agency (JFSA) has finalized a partial amendment to the *designation of countries and regions* under Articles 17-2 and 17-3 of the Order for Enforcement of the Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds (APTCP), expanding the list of foreign jurisdictions that are subject to Japan’s crypto/e-money **travel rule** framework. The change matters because Japanese cryptoasset and electronic payment instrument service providers must now apply full originator/beneficiary information transmission when dealing with additional foreign VASPs in newly designated jurisdictions, and must adjust their AML/financial crime controls and routing logic accordingly by 3 August 2026.
Non-compliance with the expanded travel rule obligations for designated jurisdictions from 3 August 2026 exposes Japanese VASPs and related institutions to administrative sanctions, supervisory actions, and potential business restrictions under the APTCP and related AML/CTF frameworks. Given the focus on cross-border virtual asset transfers, failures may also create heightened ML/TF risk exposure and reputational damage, including scrutiny from foreign regulators aligned with FATF standards.
