Stakeholders are not limited to those located in Japan. In addition to global companies issuing annual reports in English, the number of non-Japanese shareholders has been increasing sharply at all companies in recent years. The source of funding is also being globalized. Demands of stakeholders are ever more sophisticated such as requesting English notices of convocation sent to shareholders. 

Our Global Business Division provides services in various languages such as English and Chinese to meet client needs and provides audit & assurance services to Japanese subsidiaries of non-Japanese companies based on various standards such as USGAAP and IFRS in addition to JGAAP. Since these audit & assurance services are provided pursuant to audit manual of BDO International, which are equivalent to international audit standards, we are capable of providing a world-class standard of assurance services. In addition to audit & assurance services, we have established a framework to provide services to meet a wide range of needs such as financial due diligence for acquisition, IPO (initial public offerings), various financial services, business succession, fraud investigation, internal control, and internal control audits. 

We have a framework to provide services globally in cooperation with member firms through BDO networks spanning over 150 countries around the world.
