TOKYO -- Toshiba's chairman says the Japanese technology group still has a long way to go in terms of recovering trust, even five years on from the discovery of a big accounting scandal.

Yoshimitsu Kobayashi, who became chairman of the board in 2017, told the Nikkei Asian Review on Monday that Toshiba is "50% of the way there" in its quest to fully recover public trust.
