ocused on efficiency and security in the practical side of disclosure
PRONEXUS WORKS System detailsDriven by reforms to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and the Companies Act, as well as the evolution of information technology, the practical side of disclosure conducted by disclosure operations staff is becoming more sophisticated and diverse with every passing year.
Keeping abreast of information on and trends in regulatory reform that change every year, considering what to include in disclosure documents and preparing them under tight schedules, requires the construction of efficient and precise operational processes.
Disclosure documents also underpin trust in the company, and accuracy and timeliness are therefore essential.

The PRONEXUS WORKS series provides support for secure and efficient disclosure operations, tailored to meet the high level of expertise and complex processes required for the preparation of materials, while aligning with the customer’s specific operations.

This helps users decide how to reflect these changes in documents, significantly reducing the burden on staff responsible for financial reporting.
Efficiency is boosted by the ability to refer to and adapt a library of case studies packed with know-how on disclosure document preparation
We make manuals on disclosure document preparation available, and the content of case studies from other companies can be easily adapted for use.

This makes it easy to efficiently prepare documents with consistent layouts that conform with laws and regulations.

The system can be used to implement professional-level disclosure checks to ensure that the data conforms to EDINET standards.
