About the firm
Auditors who still show up for the warehouse count
Mori Trust Audit grew from partner-led fieldwork in Wakayama Prefecture. We remain a hands-on assurance practice — not a distant brand name on a letterhead.
Origin
Rooted in Kansai year-end calendars
Our partners spent early careers closing March fiscal years for regional manufacturers and trading houses. Mori Trust Audit was formed to keep that craft local: partners who know the difference between a coastal warehouse cut-off and a Tokyo HQ consolidation pack.
We work primarily with privately held Japanese companies and Japanese parents with a handful of overseas subsidiaries. Engagements stay small enough that the signing partner has read the working papers.

Hiroshi Mori
Hiroshi specialises in financial statement audits for mid-size Japanese entities with overseas subsidiaries. His work centres on consolidation packs, foreign currency translation, and bank covenant reporting.

Yuki coordinates fieldwork schedules, sample testing of revenue and purchases, and communication with client bookkeepers so that draft reports arrive before board meeting deadlines.
Working approach
Clear papers, plain findings
We favour documented judgment over jargon. Management letters name the control gap, the sample evidence, and a practical next step for the bookkeeping team. Independence rules are followed without ceremony — we do not prepare the ledgers we later audit.
When a question sits at the edge of Japanese GAAP, we discuss it early with finance directors rather than surprising the board on opinion day.
