From Compliance-Based Audits to Value-Providing Audits

We believe that in order to continue providing reliable audits, it is important to provide audit services that meet the needs of each client by independent certified public accountants who are familiar with the accounting system, not just compliance-based audits that implement audit procedures in accordance with laws, regulations, and auditing standards.
We therefore aim to foster our organization culture and transform our human resource bases so that we can continue providing value-providing audits.
