Keisan shorui and the securities report
A Japanese company's annual statements under the Companies Act are the 計算書類: the balance sheet (貸借対照表), the income statement (損益計算書), the statement of changes in shareholders' equity (株主資本等変動計算書) and the notes (個別注記表). They come with a business report (事業報告) and supporting schedules (附属明細書). The Companies Act set has no cash flow statement, so a reviewer who expects one is usually looking for the listed-company version.
Listed companies file an annual securities report (有価証券報告書) through EDINET, the Financial Services Agency's disclosure system, which is public. Its consolidated statements follow J-GAAP by default, or designated IFRS, JMIS (修正国際基準), or US GAAP for companies registered with the SEC, and they add a consolidated cash flow statement (連結キャッシュ・フロー計算書). Most family companies and small businesses never file there, so their statements exist only as the company's own copies.
Audit report, year-end and units
A large company (大会社: capital of 500 million yen or more, or liabilities of 20 billion yen or more) must appoint an accounting auditor, who must be a certified public accountant (公認会計士) or an audit corporation (監査法人). The report is usually titled 独立監査人の監査報告書, addressed to the board, and signed by the engagement partners. Companies below those thresholds need no accounting auditor under the Companies Act; the company registry certificate (登記事項証明書) from the Legal Affairs Bureau shows who the company is.
March is the most common single year-end in Japan, and dates may use the Reiwa era (令和7年3月31日 is 31 March 2025). Amounts are often stated in thousands (千円) or millions of yen (百万円), and the unit line is translated exactly, because a figure in 百万円 read as yen is off by a factor of a million. Every figure stays in yen as printed; nothing is rounded or converted.
For E-2, EB-5, L-1 and US lenders
Japan has had an E-2 treaty with the United States since 30 October 1953, and consular officers can ask for whatever they need to assess the source of the investment. The Foreign Affairs Manual adds that unverified, unaudited statements based only on the applicant's own figures are normally not enough to show the status of a business. For an EB-5 petition, 8 CFR 204.6(j)(3) lists foreign business registration records and tax returns filed within five years. An L-1 new office petition must show the Japanese company can pay the transferee and start the US business.
We translate the statements line by line, rebuilt with the same rows and columns, with every note, seal and signature. We do not convert yen to dollars, restate under US GAAP, or audit or certify the figures; that is accountants' work, on a separate document. See E-2 translations, Japanese tax returns, bank statements, articles of incorporation, financial statements and our Japanese page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
Our statements are in 千円.
We keep the figures as printed and translate the unit line as thousands of yen, so nobody reads them as yen.
We are a small KK with no auditor.
That is normal below the large-company thresholds. We translate the statements you have; the translation does not add or remove an audit.
Can you give the dollar amounts too?
No. A certified translation reproduces the document in yen. A currency conversion, if needed, is a separate note from you or your accountant.
Do you need the EDINET download or our printed copy?
Either. Send a scan, a photo or the PDF; we translate exactly what you send.
