Internal Control Walkthrough Review
Structured walkthroughs of key financial processes—purchasing, payroll, revenue—to identify control gaps before your next statutory audit cycle.
Financial auditing · Iwate, Japan
Audit opinions grounded in the ledgers you actually keep
White Shoal Audit House examines annual financial statements for privately held companies, overseas subsidiaries, and trading houses across northern Japan—on site when the files live in the warehouse, not only in the cloud folder.
What we examine
Independent assurance for statements that must stand up to lenders and shareholders
Our partners plan materiality, test material balances, attend inventory counts when stock is significant, and issue an auditor’s report under Japanese reporting expectations. We do not prepare your books; we examine them.
Fieldwork follows your fiscal calendar—not a product roadmap.

Supporting work around the statutory cycle
Walkthroughs, opening-balance support, and count attendance sit alongside the annual audit when your situation calls for them—not as renamed packages of the same service.
Opening Balance & First-Year Audit Support
Focused procedures on opening balances, accounting policy alignment, and prior-period adjustments when you engage a new auditor.
Inventory Observation Attendance
Attendance at physical inventory counts for warehouses, factories, and retail stockrooms, with count-sheet reconciliation notes for the audit file.
From the file room
A recent closing in 昭子村
A food import subsidiary engaged us for its first signed opinion after years of management accounts only. Opening balances needed reconstruction from bank statements and supplier ledgers; the statutory report followed once those bridges were documented for the lender.
