Internal Control Review
Focused assessment of key financial controls—authorisations, reconciliations, and segregation of duties—before year-end pressure builds.
Financial auditing · Fukui
Ledgers closed under a clear, independent eye
Aoyama Ledger Advisory examines year-end financial statements for companies whose work still happens on factory floors, trading desks, and family board tables—not behind product screens.
Flagship engagement
Our statutory financial statement audit is built for mid-size entities that need an opinion shareholders and lenders can rely on—without treating the finance team as a black box.
Planning starts with your fiscal calendar and entity chart. Fieldwork then follows the balances that matter: inventory at the plant, receivables from long-standing customers, and cut-off around holiday shipping pauses.
“We arrived with count tickets still warm from the warehouse printer—and left with a management letter that named the aisle, not just the account.”

What clients notice
Specific moments from recent audits and readiness reviews—not abstract ratings.
“Their team spent two full mornings on our Echizen plant floor before touching the general ledger. The stock-count notes were specific enough that our warehouse supervisor stopped arguing about aisle labels.”
Statutory Financial Statement Audit“I had hoped for a softer timeline. Fieldwork still ran into the third week because our receivable confirmations lagged, but the closing meeting walked through every open item without theatrics.”
Statutory Financial Statement Audit“The internal control review caught a dual-approval gap in vendor master changes that our previous year-end never flagged. We fixed it before the statutory team arrived.”
