株式会社ログラス recorded the session "Can FP&A Take Root in Japanese Companies?" from the Loglass Corporate Planning Summit 2026 and announced its release on "&EVENT," a program on the business video media platform PIVOT. The speakers were Kunio Ito (伊藤邦雄), Director of Hitotsubashi University’s CFO Education and Research Center, and Zenichiro Ishibashi (石橋善一郎), Professor at Chiba University of Commerce Graduate School. A viewing URL for the released video was provided.
As highlights of the program, Kunio Ito (伊藤邦雄) identified, with supporting data, the factors that have made it difficult for FP&A to take root in Japanese society, and explained the difference in capital efficiency between Japan and the United States and the background to the shortage of growth investment. Zenichiro Ishibashi (石橋善一郎) pointed out that the organizational structures of Japanese companies hinder coordination through FP&A, and discussed the importance of integrated business planning and rolling forecasts.
The discussion also addressed the value of FP&A professionals in the age of AI. The view was expressed that data alone cannot convey meaning, and that understanding the context behind the numbers, along with an interest in and sense of ownership of business operations, is important.
