Our commitment to digital accessibility

Last Updated: January 1, 2026

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Aoki International Tax Accounting Office 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.

We believe that everyone should have equal access to our services and information, regardless of ability. This commitment extends to our website, which we strive to make accessible to all users.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

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 goal is to meet Level AA conformance.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features on our website:

Navigation and Structure

  • Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML elements to structure content, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret.
  • Heading Hierarchy: We maintain a logical heading structure (h1, h2, h3, etc.) to help users navigate content.
  • Skip Links: A "Skip to main content" link allows keyboard users to bypass navigation and go directly to the main content.
  • Consistent Navigation: Navigation menus are consistent across all pages.
  • Breadcrumbs: Breadcrumb navigation helps users understand their location within the site.

Keyboard Accessibility

  • Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements can be accessed and operated using a keyboard.
  • Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators show which element is currently focused.
  • Logical Tab Order: Elements are ordered logically for keyboard navigation.
  • No Keyboard Traps: Users can navigate away from any component using only a keyboard.

Visual Design

  • Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background colors.
  • Readable Fonts: We use clear, legible fonts with appropriate sizes.
  • Responsive Design: Our website adapts to different screen sizes and can be zoomed up to 200% without loss of content.
  • Non-Text Content: Images include alternative text descriptions where appropriate.

Forms and Interactive Elements

  • Form Labels: All form fields have associated labels.
  • Error Identification: Form errors are clearly identified and described.
  • Instructions: Clear instructions are provided for form inputs.
  • Consent Checkboxes: Clearly labeled checkboxes for user consent.

Assistive Technology Support

  • Screen Reader Compatibility: Our website is designed to be compatible with popular screen readers.
  • ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes where appropriate to enhance accessibility.
  • Landmark Regions: We use ARIA landmarks to help users navigate to different sections of the page.

Known Accessibility Issues

We are actively working to identify and address any accessibility barriers. At this time, we are not aware of any significant accessibility issues on our website. However, if you encounter any difficulties, please let us know so we can address them.

Third-Party Content

Our website includes some third-party content and services, such as:

  • Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts for typography, which is generally accessible.
  • FormSubmit: We use FormSubmit for form processing, which is designed with accessibility in mind.

We strive to ensure that third-party content meets accessibility standards, but we cannot guarantee the accessibility of content provided by third parties.
