Our Commitment to Accessibility

Akasaka International Accounting is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website is accessible to all users.

We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services, regardless of ability. This commitment reflects our values of professionalism, integrity, and respect for all individuals.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Our website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
