13亿美元会计丑闻持续发酵，东芝遭索赔上亿美元 - 东芝 - IT资讯

东芝日本官网发布消息称，一家日本信托银行已对该公司提起诉讼，指控公司去年爆发的13亿美元会计丑闻令其蒙受损失，因此提起索赔120亿日元（约合1.19亿美元）。

日本信托服务银行已于8月9日向东京地方法院提交了这一诉讼，东芝表示将预留“合理数量”的现金以支付任何可能出现的赔偿金，如果需要，东芝还会修订指导性利润预期。北京商报记者联系到东芝中国，该公司表示并未得到日本方面的消息。

去年2月，东芝爆发会计丑闻。第三方委员会查出，从2008年起至2014年末，东芝共虚报利润1562亿日元，这个数字占到东芝5650亿日元税前利润的将近30%。

财务造假丑闻曝光，再加上和日本所有大型电子企业一样，东芝所擅长的硬件制造和品质优势正在失去，甚至显得冗余，该公司陷入了竞争力变弱、业绩大幅下滑的困境。在过去的财年，东芝展开了大规模的业务重组，除了裁员，还对外变卖了不符合未来发展战略的业务和资产。今年3月，美的集团宣布收购东芝旗下的白色家电业务，同时，佳能也以6655亿日元（约合59亿美元）的总价收购了东芝旗下的医疗设备部门。

不过，包括裁员和剥离消费电子业务等非盈利业务在内的重组措施，也帮助东芝在2016年第一财季（4-6月）扭亏为盈，营业收入为1.21万亿日元，营业利润为201亿日元，净利润为798亿日元（约合7.821亿美元），而去年同期净亏损123亿日元。由于核心业务面临艰难的商业环境，东芝未来的前景依然存在很多的不确定性。
