Even a foreign capital company located in Japan needs to prepare financial statements in accordance with regulations of the Companies Act, if its capital stock exceeds 500 million yen. And then, it is, in principle, not permitted to prepare financial statements in English. The Companies Act demands businesses with capital stock more than 500 million yen to prepare financial statements after taking audits, and its purport is to protect shareholder’s rights. However, the parent company overseas would not able to read financial statements written in the Japanese language. Therefore, the preparation of financial statements in Japanese would not be considered a less important job for in-charge of foreign capital companies. Nonetheless, the preparation of financial statements is required by the Companies Act and is subject to the audit by an external auditor for “Large Company”. It cannot be avoided from the perspective of tax file purposes.
