Internal Auditing for Foreign Subsidiaries

Internal Auditing of Foreign Subsidiaries Is Becoming Increasingly Important

In recent years, consolidated management has been increasingly important to the group companies trying to enhance their corporate value as a whole. In addition, many Japanese companies are developing cross-border group management on a global scale.

Any loss caused in a foreign subsidiary which is difficult to control from the parent company located in Japan may tend to grow enormously, and any overseas illegal act or misconduct may have a serious negative impact on the reputation or brand of the parent company. Therefore, the company developing consolidated management globally needs to check whether the corporate governance and risk management systems of its foreign subsidiaries are functioning effectively through internal auditing.  

However, many Japanese companies have not succeeded in complete internal auditing of their foreign subsidiaries in fact. This is because they do not have professional staff specialized in internal auditing of foreign subsidiaries; legal systems, cultures and customs differ from country to country; they are hampered by a language barrier, and so on.

Deloitte Japan smoothly helps companies with their internal auditing in every location of the world based on a wealth of experience accumulated globally.
