Fees
What shapes an audit fee
Engagement fees are fixed after a scoping call. The figures below are starting guides for Wakayama and Kansai entities — final quotes reflect locations, inventory complexity, and reporting packs required.
| Engagement | Typical basis | Starting guide |
|---|---|---|
| Statutory financial statement audit | Single entity, one main warehouse, Japanese GAAP | From ¥1,800,000 per year-end |
| Internal control assessment | Purchase-to-pay and revenue cycles across one site | From ¥650,000 per review |
| Consolidation support audit | Parent plus up to three subsidiaries | From ¥1,200,000 per consolidation cycle |
| Special-purpose agreed-upon procedures | Lender or landlord request on defined balances | Quote after reviewing the procedures list |
Estimate factors
What moves the fee up or down
- Number of inventory locations requiring observation
- Related-party volume and foreign-currency balances
- Quality of the trial balance and supporting schedules at kick-off
- Whether an English-language report is required for lenders
- Rush timing relative to the statutory filing deadline
Deposits & billing
A 30% deposit is invoiced with the signed engagement letter. The balance is due on delivery of the signed opinion or final report. Travel within Wakayama Prefecture is included; overnight trips elsewhere in Japan are billed at cost with prior approval.
We do not offer monthly subscription pricing for audits. Recurring clients receive a refreshed engagement letter each fiscal year.
