An independent investigation revealed in 2015 that Toshiba had systematically overstated its operating profits by more than 1.5 billion dollars over seven years, under pressure from senior executives to meet unrealistic earnings targets. The scandal led to the resignation of CEO Hisao Tanaka and much of the company's top management, a record fine from Japanese regulators, and years of subsequent financial and governance troubles that contributed to Toshiba's eventual delisting and privatization in 2023.
