Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the case of South Seas Development Company, cost control was practiced through cheap raw material (sugar cane) price standards and premium incentives. Regarding this cost control, various issues related to labor disputes occurred, involving the Ministry of Colonial Affairs and the South Seas Agency. But, the company's accounting reports played an important role in solving the problems. Meanwhile, budgetary control was practiced, from the beginning of Japan’s reign of the South Seas Islands, by the Extraordinary Defense Corps in the South Sea Islands and the South Seas Agency, where the expansion of the control function of expenditure budget was brought about. It is reasonably assumed that the stabilization of the sugar production business resulting from the cost control exercised by the South Seas Development Company contributed to the expansion of the control function of the budgets established by the South Seas Agency, though the pattern was indirect at most.
