Year-end statements examined with coastal patience

Rinsen Fiscal Partners conducts independent financial statement audits, inventory observation, and bank confirmation work for companies that file under Japanese GAAP and related reporting frameworks.

Flagship engagement

Statutory financial statement audit

For mid-sized manufacturers, distributors, and holding companies that need an independent opinion on annual financial statements before filing or lender review. We plan materiality, test revenue cut-off, observe year-end inventory counts, and issue an auditor’s report under Japanese auditing standards.

Typical fieldwork runs four to eight weeks depending on entity count, inventory locations, and subsidiary consolidations.

Other work we take on

Supporting reviews that sit beside the annual audit — useful when lenders ask for interim comfort, or when management wants a focused look at internal controls before year-end.

How we work

Fieldwork that respects your closing calendar

We schedule inventory observation around your shut-down windows, send bank confirmation letters early in the planning phase, and hold a clear issues list with finance before the partner review. No surprise binder dumps on filing week.

From finance teams we work with

What clients notice after year-end

“Their team stayed on the factory floor for the entire inventory count in Matsuno — including the cold-storage annex we usually forget to mention.”

Keiko Morita, Finance Director, regional food processor

“The draft findings arrived a week before our lender call. One revenue cut-off point needed extra work, and they said so plainly rather than smoothing it over.”

Haruto Ishida, Controller, trading company
