Xerox ends merger with Fujifilm in victory for shareholders

Carl ican did Fuji a big favor. Fuji should continue its shift into healthcare.

There is a reason that companies conduct due diligence, esp. when evidence of financial irregularities have been reported.

Not to say it doesn't happen elsewhere, but it seems like "accounting irregularities" are a pretty common occurrence in major Japanese corporations.

Fujifilm is so lucky, Fuji Film got rid of another situation like Toshiba, Takata.

It seems stupid Oyagi not learned the lesson with Westinghouse Electric Co., Rockefeller center among many others failures.

Westerners never sell profitable companies, Never!

"Accounting irregularities" = Overstating revenue by hundreds of millions of dollars.

 "accounting irregularities"

Japan's accounting is a little different from US, nothing new.  Zerox is obviously lying and trying to evade the responsibility.

"accounting irregularities"

Accounting can't be different. Obviously they caught more Japan Inc fraud and bailed on it

As for the activist shareholder charge, this is how the board is supposed to work. If the shareholders don't like the board, they can turf them. The mechanisms were always there

Japan's accounting is a little different from US, nothing new.

Yes, American shareholders expect companies to have accurate measurements and accounting, not just numbers pulled out of some oyaji's toupee in order to please the higher up oyaji.

Japan's accounting is a little different from US, nothing new. what different like Olympus!?

Good luck to both Xerox and Fuji.

Yeah, Japan needs to learn more about american business model including the foundation of your intelligence agency like CIA.

"Like ENRON."

Skilling and Fastow have served lengthy prison sentences. Lay died before sentencing. So tell me about all the Olympus execs who are spending time in jail.
