Things weren't all rosy for Toshiba.
Group company Toshiba Tec says it has discovered that some staff at a subsidiary based in Germany padded profits of about 5-million dollars.
Toshiba Tec produces and sells multi-functional office equipment.
Its executives say 3 officials at the subsidiary's branch in Spain underreported the costs incurred.
The officials include the deputy chief of the branch.
They say the illegal accounting practice has gone on for 9 years, from 2009 until last year.
The padded profits were disclosed when an official in charge of financial affairs was replaced in July last year.
