#Data alteration
This topic brings together cases where measurements, test conditions, application materials or loan-review documents were changed or created in ways that did not match reality.
Toyota Industries, Daihatsu and Hino involve certification-test or application data, while Suruga Bank involves materials used in loan screening. The industries differ, but the reports make it possible to compare how records were altered and where those decisions occurred.
Two passages to compare
- Note 07 · Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd.：The internal test report and the certification document sent to authorities were not routinely checked against each other
Was there a check between internal test reports and the documents submitted to authorities?
Independent Third-Party Committee Investigation Report p.106-107 - Note 01 · Suruga Bank Ltd.：Falsified evidence was called 'ebi.' One balance was mistyped above JPY 200 million and then corrected
How were documents prepared before loan screening? Compare that stage with transcription after a test.
