Summary

Cabinet Office Ordinance No. 81 of 2026, titled as an amendment to the ordinance on monetary penalties under the Certified Public Accountants Act, was promulgated on 2026-09-16 and is scheduled to take effect on 2026-11-30. The update listing identifies the affected instrument as Cabinet Office Ordinance No. 22 of 2025 on travel expenses and allowances for witnesses and expert witnesses in hearing proceedings under that Act; the specific amendments are not provided.

Business Impact

Witnesses and expert witnesses in hearing proceedings under the Certified Public Accountants Act may be affected because the listed target ordinance concerns their travel expenses and allowances, a narrower subject than the monetary-penalty amendment title.

Recommended Action

Reviewing the official Japanese text could clarify how the amendment affects Cabinet Office Ordinance No. 22 of 2025 and which travel-expense or allowance provisions change on 2026-11-30.
