Audit and Assurance Services

We provide high-quality statutory audit services, including those in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, the Companies Act and the Limited Partnership Act for Investment.

In large auditing firms, partners who sign audit reports seldom make onsite visit often resulting in the overturning of judgments of client office accountants or important decisions being conveyed suddenly and without any prior consultation.

The partners in our firm who sign audit reports make onsite visit and work to understand our clients' businesses accurately and in depth so that audits are carried out smoothly.

An initial public offering (IPO) allows a company to gain access to funds from a wide pool of investors to increase its capital. Going public also brings numerous benefits to the company in the form of greater trust from society, better access to talented individuals and a stronger management structure. Because IPOs require audits of financial statements for the most recent two fiscal periods, audits are best conducted at an early stage. Seiwa conducts audits during the IPO preparation stage.

We provide high-quality audit services tailored specifically to IPOs, as many of our auditors are certified public accountants (CPA) with extensive experience in venture company IPOs. Even a small-scale unprofitable company can list its shares, provided it has good prospects for future growth. Having a public offering audit at an early stage to design an internal control system and a financial reporting structure helps to reduce the time needed to achieve a listing.

Newly founded or small-scale companies, as well as companies that are legally obliged to perform audits, must ensure that their financial statements are accurate. Audits are an effective tool to ensure the reliability of financial statements. Seiwa also conducts voluntary audits to meet the needs of unlisted companies.

Our extensive experience in performing voluntary audits for small-scale companies enables us to provide services that are carefully tailored to each company's needs. We are committed to delivering high-quality audit services that provide support to companies where managers are concerned about their financial reporting structure or companies that have recently been established.
