When Xerox imposed these new accounting methods on offices in Europe, Canada, Brazil and Japan, KPMG auditors in those countries recognized that the changes were both unnecessary and unrealistic. In 1997, KPMG's Canadian affiliate warned Dolanski that Xerox's new method for moving revenue from financing to equipment was "not supportable" and posed an "unnecessary control risk with regard to accounting records." KPMG's Brazil office told Safran the following year that the finance assumptions generated by Xerox's new accounting were significantly below prevailing interest rates and that they "did not consider all of the uncertainties inherent in [Xerox Brazil's] business and, consequently, on its cash flow." Similarly, KPMG's affiliate in Tokyo in 1999 objected to the use of the new interest rate formula by Fuji Xerox because it did "not match the actual status" of Fuji's business and no procedures had been performed to determine if it might.
