Invoice system compliance! A system that allows you to "easily" and "collectively" "automatically check" the invoice business registration status of suppliers and partner companies!

Before entering a store for receptions or advance purchases, easily check with the T-check invoice!! You can quickly search if that store is an invoice business operator! The invoice (qualified invoice) system started in October 2023. If a supplier is not registered as an invoice business operator, you will not be able to deduct the consumption tax on purchases made from that supplier, making it very important to check whether the supplier is registered as an invoice business operator. Our "Invoice Issuer Verification System" allows you to upload supplier master data, which will then consolidate based on company name and address, and verify against registered invoice business operators. This enables you to easily and accurately check the registration status of a large number of suppliers all at once. Additionally, it is also possible to easily search and check if a specific corporation or sole proprietor is an invoice business operator with pinpoint accuracy.

Equipped with high-precision AI-OCR specialized for receipts! Expense reimbursement can be completed with just one smartphone for receipts and invoices! Automatic checking of the counterpart's T number is also possible!

# Points - Before entering a store for entertainment or advance purchases, easily check with T-check invoice!! You can quickly search if the store is an invoice issuer! - After receiving a receipt at the store, easily settle expenses with the T-check receipt invoice on your smartphone. - With the T-check series, you can thoroughly implement measures to save on input consumption tax for expense settlements!! Salespeople who are often out and employees working from home or remotely can complete receipt settlement applications with just one smartphone. Applicants simply take a photo of the receipt using their smartphone app and submit the expense application. Thanks to AI-OCR specialized in reading receipts and POS receipts, necessary information for expense application is automatically extracted from the photographed receipt, and a draft data for the expense application is automatically created. This significantly reduces the stress of expense settlement tasks for employees. Additionally, for accounting personnel, a feature has been implemented to automatically check the T number of the receipt issuer! No need to check the T number one by one! It automatically sorts by tax rate and aggregates the input tax deduction amount! # New Feature: AI Guessing of Account Titles Instead of the accounting personnel, AI will infer the "account title" from the contents of the receipt and set it automatically!

[Lecturers] Daisuke Tateno, Partner, Arthur D. Little Japan K.K. Akihiro Nagayama, Principal [Key Lecture Content] Drones, AI, software, satellites, and electronic warfare are fundamentally changing the way wars are fought, and the defense industry is currently transitioning from a heavy and traditional model to one centered around AI, software, data, and unmanned systems. In the United States, emerging companies like Palantir and Anduril, which are software-driven, are challenging existing defense firms. In Japan, structural changes are beginning with the Defense Capability Development Plan, the Defense Industry Base Strengthening Act, and the entry of startups. This seminar will discuss the changes in the global security environment and industrial structure, the strategies of advanced players both domestically and internationally, and the areas where Japanese companies can succeed, including dual-use, collaboration with software companies, M&A and alliances, and talent strategies. We will consider how to view change not as a threat but as a growth opportunity, and how to construct a new Japanese defense industry from a management perspective.

[Speaker] Kazuki Miyamoto, Representative/Analyst, VentureClef, USA [Key Lecture Content] The frontier model in the United States is evolving at an unexpected speed. AI agents based on the frontier model have completely transformed business forms in companies. Chinese companies are developing large-scale open source projects, and their performance is approaching that of the U.S. model. Meanwhile, U.S. companies have begun developing open source, leading to a direct confrontation between the U.S. and China. The seminar will examine the frontier models of both countries and explain the latest technologies and important trends. It will organize points on how Japanese companies should perceive the U.S.-China AI development competition from technological and business perspectives. It will also consider strategies for companies to succeed in the AI era, including the differentiation between the U.S. and Chinese models, as well as the advantages and challenges of open source versus closed source. [Lecture Items] <1> Frontier Model (USA) <2> Frontier Model (China) <3> Technology Trends and AI Strategies for Japanese Companies <4> Q&A
