Who this engagement is for

Companies whose banks or boards request a review of interim financial information between statutory audits — common for seasonal trading houses and manufacturers with large half-year inventory swings.

What is included

Inquiry of management, analytical comparisons to prior periods and budgets, and selected substantive checks on significant balances. We issue a review report stating that nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe the interim information is materially misstated — a limited assurance conclusion, not an audit opinion.

Duration & location

Two to three weeks of review procedures, largely at your finance office with follow-up calls for open items. Inventory observation is not typically included unless specifically agreed.

Pricing

Fees start around ¥780,000 for a single-entity interim package and rise with subsidiary count. We confirm the fee in writing before commencing.
