A seminar will be held on the Japan Federation of Tax Accountants' Associations' AI and cloud usage guideline for tax accounting offices, published in September of Reiwa 8, led by tax accountant Yusuke Arai, who runs AI in his own office.
Why it matters
It targets tax accountants unsure about confidentiality and personal data when using generative AI, and office heads who want internal rules and client consent forms aligned with the guideline.

The guideline arrived in September of Reiwa 8, and the seminar is built around it rather than around generic AI training. It is led by Yusuke Arai, who is described as implementing and operating AI in his own office, so the practical questions — whether client information can be entered into AI, which tools are usable, and how far AI answers can be trusted — are addressed from a working office's perspective. The seminar ties those questions back to the Tax Accountant Act and the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, and it is aimed at offices that want internal rules and client consent forms in place. The organizers plan to apply for the session to count as "other training" hours toward tax accountant associations, with the latest details on which associations on a dedicated site.
