Banking / insurance / securities •

Crypto-assets / digital assets •

Travel Rule / AML consulting •

M&A / FAS (separated from audit) •

  • Deloitte Tohmatsu Financial Advisory (DTFA) handles M&A deal advisory

4. Major listed-FG client relationships (public basis)

Tohmatsu is broadly involved in audits of major financial-sector clients, but because the auditor of any individual company fluctuates over time, this entry limits itself to the verifiable scope:

  • Major VASPs — audit track record related to the bitFlyer group, etc. (public-basis references exist) •

Note: the auditor of any individual company fluctuates over time. For the latest, confirm using the “auditor status” section of each company’s latest EDINET securities report or JICPA search as a primary source.

  • Governing law: Certified Public Accountants Act •
  • Registration: Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (JICPA) •
  • Supervision: the FSA’s Certified Public Accountants and Auditing Oversight Board (CPAAOB) conducts quality-control reviews / inspections •
  • CPAAOB inspection results: an outline of the inspection results of major audit firms is published in the annual “Activities of the Certified Public Accountants and Auditing Oversight Board” report •

Past disciplinary history •

  • Individual administrative-disciplinary history should be confirmed each time on the basis of CPAAOB inspection results / FSA disclosures
