If you operate fund business, it may be requested by investors or other interested parties to take external audits so that they can make investment decisions with reliance on its performance. Specifically, a statutory audit is required if limited partnership (LPS) is established in Japan, however, investors sometimes demand fund operators to take audit conducted by CPA.
\nIf incorporating a fund entity in Japan, there are several types of entities such as limited partnerships, partnership contracts under the Civil Code, Tokumei-Kumiai contract (TK structure) and special purpose companies (SPC\/TMK), etc. And then, in most cases where significant investors are involved, such fund entities are audited according to investor\u2019s request or contract provisions.<\/p>\n
