Internal Control（J-SOX）Implementation

Internal control is an essential system for the sustainable growth of a company. While the law mandates the establishment of internal control, the level at which internal control is built can vary based on the client's specific circumstances and needs.

Furthermore, in the context of J-SOX (Japanese Sarbanes-Oxley Act) requirements for publicly traded companies, it is essential to consider sustainability and cost-effectiveness when implementing, operating, evaluating, and documenting internal control systems, with a focus on streamlining operations and enhancing value. However, it's worth noting that even after the introduction of the J-SOX system for fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2008, some companies continue to follow the initial approach.

In the construction of internal controls (J-SOX), it is essential to consider the level at which they are established, implemented, and improved. This should involve not only individual business processes but also a comprehensive assessment of the overall situation, including organizational structure and corporate culture, taking into account the specific needs of each client.


We boasts experienced partners who have been involved with a wide range of clients, differing in business scale, geographic location, growth stage, and various other aspects, during their tenure at major audit firms. Through thorough communication led by our partners, we gain a comprehensive understanding of your specific circumstances, enabling us to provide support for the establishment of internal controls (J-SOX) tailored to the reality you face.

Corporate Governance Establishment

Corporate governance refers to the framework of corporate management designed to ensure that companies make transparent, fair, and prompt decisions, taking into consideration the perspectives of stakeholders such as shareholders, customers, employees, and the local community. It encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at enhancing the value of the company for stakeholders, including the appointment of directors and auditors, both internal and external, the establishment and operation of the board of directors, the implementation and operation of internal controls, and timely and appropriate disclosure and reporting to shareholders.

For publicly traded companies, adhering to fundamental governance principles is essential, such as (a) ensuring shareholder rights and equality, (b) collaborating effectively with stakeholders other than shareholders, (c) ensuring appropriate information disclosure and transparency, (d) defining the responsibilities of the board of directors, and (e) engaging in dialogue with shareholders. Building appropriate corporate governance is also a critical factor when a company aims to go public (IPO). Additionally, regional financial institutions are expected to establish suitable governance and management structures to protect depositors and other stakeholders.

Our team members have experience dealing with the practical aspects of governance in a variety of organizations. They provide services that take into account the desired direction of corporate governance, along with identifying current challenges and proposing solutions related to governance.

Overseas Subsidiary Management / Reporting

The Overseas Subsidiary Management Support Service is designed to assist Japanese companies in managing and operating their overseas subsidiaries. In the context of international business expansion, overseas subsidiaries often face numerous challenges, including differences in culture and language, diverse legal and regulatory environments, variations in regional markets, remote operations, and human resource management. These challenges can become increasingly burdensome, and many companies find themselves dealing with cases that they cannot address on their own due to a lack of human resources, knowledge, and information.


We, staffed with experts possessing extensive knowledge and experience in international business, including individuals with overseas experience in North America and Asia, provides comprehensive support to address the specific challenges in managing your overseas subsidiaries. We offer advice and solutions tailored to the individual needs of our clients, compensating for shortages in human resources, knowledge, and information. Our goal is to ensure effective operations from Japan while working closely with our clients.

New Accounting, IFRS and US-GAAP Implementation

We provide seamless support for a smooth transition from Japanese standards to IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and US-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), enabling the establishment of a stable operational framework.

The transition of accounting standards can be a significant effort due to various reasons, including international fundraising and the alignment of accounting standards with a parent company. We provide comprehensive support throughout the entire transition process. Our experienced team assists with preliminary investigations (identifying key issues, impact analysis, etc.), the actual transition work (determining accounting policies, supporting the establishment of financial reporting systems, and extending the transition to group companies), and ongoing support for stable operations (reviewing the first-year transition and addressing any new issues that may arise).

Furthermore, we offer support not only for the financial and management accounting impact resulting from the transition but also for addressing related processes. This includes establishing an internal information collection system necessary for financial statement preparation and conducting impact analyses on business processes, all of which arise during the transition to new accounting standards.

Accounting System Implementation and Integration

The introduction or migration of accounting systems typically has a significant impact on existing business processes. It necessitates considerations spanning various areas, including the establishment of an information collection system for post-transition financial reporting, the assessment of the impact on post-transition business processes, and the creation of optimal post-transition business processes. Additionally, carrying out the implementation, enhancement, or migration of existing accounting systems while maintaining day-to-day operations can place a substantial burden on the accounting department and related functions.


We, staffed with experienced professionals, provides optimal services from the formulation of your implementation/migration plan to the actual transition work. We aim to be a steadfast support for your transition efforts, acting as a valuable partner. Additionally, we offer independent transition support, such as third-party evaluations of your migration plan.
