EBA School for Small and Medium Enterprise Management Consultants (Ginza, Tokyo; Representative: Akihiro Eguchi) announced that an explanatory article by their lecturer has been featured in the April 2026 issue of the monthly magazine 'Kigyo Shindan' (Doyukan). 'Case IV' of the exam focuses on finance and accounting. Despite being calculation-heavy, model answers often vary by institution, causing confusion. The article uses the 2025 fiscal year's third question to analyze these discrepancies, focusing on the timing of investment in working capital and providing a practical framework for candidates to make sound judgments during the actual exam.
